The mobile phone of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, has been subject to eavesdropping by five secret services of different countries , shown on the report published Sunday by the German magazine ‘Focus’ .
The controversial espionage monitored by other European countries, and orchestrated by the NSA, sparked last month a series of warnings directed to alert Germany’s counter intelligence services and consider Germany’s role with its close allies.
Under this pretense, the German intelligence authorities would be persuaded that, in addition to U.S. espionage services countries like China , Russia , North Korea and the UK intercepted conversations of the mobile phone of the German Foreign Minister.
Until now, it had been reported that Angela Merkel ‘s cell phone was in the list of objectives of the National Intelligence Agency (NSA ) from 2002, three years before she won his first election.
According to various German media networks , the U.S. intelligence services tapped her telephone given by her political party, the Christian Democratic Union , the same phone the Chancellor used between October 2009 and July this year.
It is still unclear how Germany and the EU will react to the reports provided by Edward Snowden, the NSA’s worst nightmare and what impact will it have with future negotiations.
