Report: Germany spied on France EU Commission for US spy agency
Media reports in Germany suggest that the country’s intelligence services have spied on top French officials and the European Commission on behalf of the American spy agency NSA.
German daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung says the country’s foreign intelligence agency helped NSA carry out political espionage by watching top officials at the French Foreign Ministry, the Elysee Palace and the European Commission. Another German daily, The Bild, had previously cited intelligence agency documents, saying the German chancellor's office was informed in 2008 of German involvement in US economic espionage, but did not react. In 2013, ties between Washington and Berlin strained following revelations by US intelligence whistleblower Edward Snowden that the NSA was conducting massive Internet and phone data espionage on German officials, including Chancellor Angela Merkel.
