Denmark’s intelligence services helped the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) to spy on European politicians including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, a report has claimed.
It says that between 2012 and 2014 the Danish Defense Intelligence Service aided the NSA to steal data via underwater internet cables.
U.S. whistleblower Edward Snowden first alleged that the U.S. had tapped Merkel’s phone in 2013, a claim that was not outrightly denied by the White House.
The new report shared with several European news agencies, claims that the NSA accessed text messages and the phone conversations of a number of other leading politicians.
Denmark’s defence ministry is yet to comment.
