German intelligence services urged officials working in buildings near the Russian embassy in Berlin to pull the curtains and move monitors away from windows during meetings. The newspaper writes about it New York Times.
“Intelligence services warned lawmakers to protect themselves by turning their computer screens away from windows, stopping using wireless devices that are easier to listen in, and closing curtains during meetings,” the publication says.
A former senior aide to former German Chancellor Angela Merkel told the newspaper that her subordinates were trying to estimate how many “spies” allegedly worked at the Russian embassy.
Formerly Norwegian publisher NRK accused Russian consul in Svalbard Andrey Chemerilo in connection with “military intelligence”. It is reported that the TV company is conducting an investigation in which it identified 38 Russian intelligence agents allegedly linked to the embassies of European countries. The company noted that some had already been declared persona non grata and deported from Sweden and Norway.
