Antes de la carpeta, ya había informes
Before Puerto Rico knew the carpetas as a public scandal, official reports, surveillance language, and intelligence practices were already leaving receipts.
Receipt Spine
- The UPR library guide places fichar, encarpetar, surveillance, Río Piedras, and the Puerto Rico Police Intelligence Division inside the longer carpeta chronology.
- The episode keeps Río Piedras as context, not as a direct-causation claim for the carpetas.
- Federal context is framed as Hoover-era FBI / COINTELPRO, while the local carpetas are tied to the Puerto Rico Police and its Intelligence Division.
