Repression-cum-farce
Twenty guys with BIG GUNS storm into your apartment one night. They say they’re from the Prosecutor General’s Office. They’re looking for materials relating to [radical oppo lawyer and RR-fraud-conspiracy-theorist-in-chief] Tulio Alvarez’s “terrorist activities.” You explain to them, as calmly as you can, that Mr. Alvarez’s parents-in-law did used to live there, but sold the apartment to you years ago. Oh. Erm. Rats. They leave, a bit embarrassed. The next day, the prosecutors’ office says it has no idea who the 20 guys were.
