The US National Security Agency tried, with the help of the Federal Reserve, to monitor Siemens in Russia, Airbus in France and other large companies. How сообщает Bild am Sonntag newspaper, American intelligence justified the need for espionage by saying that the Siemens concern had entered into an agreement with a Russian intelligence service on the supply of communication technologies.
Publication of the Sudeutche Zeitung пишет: “It’s surprising that the chancellor didn’t know anything like this. Since almost ten years ago, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed, which defines the complex of cooperation between the Fed and the NSA. The Chancellor could not help but know about him.”
Confidential documents show the federal government misled the public.
The Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper publishes email correspondence between the Chancellor's administration and the White House as part of the discussion of an agreement to stop mutual espionage. At this moment, Merkel, the newspaper reports, publicly declared a sharp position on the espionage that the United States carried out on Merkel herself and the federal government. Let us remember that this data was declassified by Edward Snowden. After the revelations made by Edward Snowden, the United States pointed Germany to a “treaty on the protection of classified information.” Germany in 2013 was going to open a case on suspicion of the NSA of spying on millions of German citizens. The chancellor's administration, according to the newspaper, even promised to keep everything secret.
Massive espionage by German intelligence services on members of the European Commission and concerns of EU states, including their own German enterprises, ordered by the NSA is not only a serious violation of trust, but also a crime against the state, the German newspaper reports. The opposition in the Bundestag continues to develop this scandal, demanding an answer from the Chancellor before the investigative commission.
