The Agencia Nacional de Inteligencia (ANI) is the Chilean government national intelligence agency. Created in 2004, its mission is to coordinate, and advise the President on, intelligence. It is attached administratively to the Ministry of the Interior. Its current director is Gonzalo Yuseff Quiroz. The previous director was Gustavo Villalobos, who was also the last director of Directorate of Public Security and Information (''Dirección de Seguridad Pública e Informaciones'' in Spanish). ANI's budget is approximately $4 million USD.〔Chris Hippner, "A Study Into the Size of the World’s Intelligence Industry" (Master's Thesis, December 2009), 88, http://www.scribd.com/doc/23958185/A-Study-Into-the-Size-of-the-World-s-Intelligence-Industry.〕 == Background == The history of the Chilean intelligence services originates in the early nineteenth century, when a Military Secret Service was created to conduct special operations. Its most notable work was during the War of the Pacific, when it carried out several successful missions. These were recreated in a very popular military novel in Chile, ''Adiós al Séptimo de Línea'', by Jorge Inostroza Cuevas. The services were restructured when the Chilean Army was professionalised with the support of the Prussian army, creating the ''Dirección de Inteligencia del Ejército'' (Army Intelligence Directorate), or ''DINE''. In parallel, the Navy and the Air Force created their own services (Naval Intelligence and the Intelligence Service of the Air Force). During the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, the ''Dirección de Inteligencia Nacional'' (Directorate of National Intelligence), or ''DINA'', was also created, directed especially to combat the leftist parties and movements (Socialist, Communist and MIR). Its first director was Colonel Manuel Contreras. This institution was dissolved in 1977 to create its replacement, the ''Central Nacional de Informaciones'' (National Information Centre, or CNI), which performed the same tasks as the DINA. The CNI was dissolved in 1990. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Agencia Nacional de Inteligencia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
