(35 minutes later)
A prisoner in Uruguay tapped into the United States ambassador’s cellphone and tried to commit fraud, the authorities said Tuesday. Officials said the inmate got Ambassador Julissa Reynoso’s voicemail password. “Using that, he got access to some messages left by some of my friends. And he was able to — I don’t know how — send certain messages from prison to some of my contacts,” Ms. Reynoso told Uruguay’s Canal 10 TV. The FM Gente radio station in the southern city of Maldonado first reported the case, saying the police discovered that the inmate had access to the phone while investigating him for other fraud.
