Germany's foreign intelligence agency, the BND, spied on Interpol, the international police agency based in Lyon, France, as well as national offices in dozens of countries, including the United States, Austria, and Greece, the German news magazine "Spiegel" reported.
The magazine cited documents it had viewed, reporting that the spying had taken place over many years. It said the BND included the email addresses and phone and fax numbers of police investigators in its sector surveillance list.
About 190 countries – almost every nation on earth – are Interpol members. The BND also monitored the European police agency, Europol, which is based in The Hague, the report said. Neither the BND, Interpol nor Europol responded to requests for comment.
In February, "Spiegel" reported that the BND also spied on various news organizations, including "The New York Times" and Reuters - monitoring their telephones, faxes, and emails.
