“El asunto Mesutti”: anticomunismo y espionaje soviético en Uruguay

Abstract

Desde 1954, Oscar Mesutti era uno de los funcionarios más competentes y capacitados en el archivo de la cancillería uruguaya. Su compromiso con la función pública trascendía lo habitual: cumplía sus funciones fuera de hora e inclusive llevaba trabajo a su casa. Cuatro años después, su esposa, habitualmente maltratada por Oscar y al igual que él, consumidora de estupefacientes, puso en conocimiento del Juez que su marido entregaba documentos a la embajada soviética. Corría el año 1958 y el “asunto Mesutti” había estallado, transformándose en una “novela” de espionaje que ocupó por casi dos años la atención de la prensa conservadora nacional. Este artículo, sustentado prioritariamente en documentación de la inteligencia policial uruguaya, permite consignar —y colocar en su real dimensión— las características de aquel inusitado sensacionalismo periodístico en torno al bullado caso Mestti.
