The departure of María Lourdes Puente Olivera, a civilian and the first woman to lead the intelligence agency, comes two days after the resignation of Argentina’s navy chief and the suspension of two other highly placed navy officials. Those events came amid a Defense Ministry investigation into a last-minute change to the vessel’s itinerary, which had it stop in Ghana rather than Nigeria, as originally planned.
