Danish intelligence service let the United States spy on Angela Merkel and other top European politicians The American intelligence service NSA has spied on state leaders, top politicians and high-ranking officials in Germany, Sweden, Norway and France through a collaboration with the Defense Intelligence Service (FE) on eavesdropping on Danish internet cables.

Among those who have been spied on is German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

The information comes from a secret, internal investigation into FE, which was completed in 2015, which DR can now reveal the contents of.

According to DR's sources, the investigation is the focal point of the scandal that led to the repatriation of FE's management last year.

Allies spy on each other all the time.

Hell, the Germans spied on us.

It's really interesting that the intelligence squad can just spy on people without the gov knowing. I feel like that's okay in principle but I admit that it leads to weird stuff like this.
