The president signed a DNU to allocate a mega-fund to the "new" intelligence agency, which reports directly to the Presidency.​

After dissolving the Federal Intelligence Agency and ordering the return of the State Intelligence Secretariat ( SIDE), the government of Javier Milei decided to grant him, via DNU, a budget allocation for 100 billion pesos, of a reserved nature.

The new SIDE depends on the Presidency and is the " governing body " of the National Intelligence System (SIN). It was headed by Secretary Sergio Neiffert , a trusted man of advisor Santiago Caputo, and is made up of four organizations: the Argentine Intelligence Service (SIA), the National Security Agency (ASN), the Federal Cybersecurity Agency (AFC) and the Internal Affairs Division (DAI).

In addition to the use of the acronym that refers to the worst of the intelligence underworld in Argentina, the Government decided to appoint officials linked to Menemism such as Juan Bautista "Tata" Yofre , Secretary of State Intelligence between 1989-1990, and Alejandro Walter Colombo , a former SIDE delegate in Rome during Menemism, linked to Antonio Stiuso . Retired Commissioner General Pablo Cecati, former head of Macri's presidential custody and very close to the former president, also joins.

But that's not sinister, no, not at all.
