Switzerland and Germany sign ‘no spy Smart Grid mit LTE Routern ing’ agreement: report
www.inhandnetworks.de Just a fortnight after the revelation that Switzerland conducted a spying mission in Germany in 2012, media in the two countries have reported that the neighbouring nations recently signed an agreement to stop all such espionage.Citing sources close to the Swiss government, Swiss paper Tages Anzeiger and the German Süddeutsche Zeitung said that in January 2017 the two countries concluded a ‘Memorandum of Understanding’ to forbid each country’s intelligence service from carrying out espionLTE Routerage activities against the other. From now on, Switzerland will tell the German government if it wishes to conduct an anti-crime operation in Germany, and vice-versa. Contacted by the papeindustrielle Kommunikationrs, neither government would confirm the existence of the agreement. The news comes two weeks after German prosecutors arrested a Swiss man identified as Daniel M. in Frankfurt for carrying out alleged espionage activities since 2012. Switzerland later confirmed that the man worked for the Swiss federal intelligence service (FIS). The man’s mission was to identify German tax investigators who purchased CDs containing details of bank account holders in foreign tax havens such as Switzerland. The information provided helped Swiss authorities file charges against three German tax inspectors for breaching Swiss banking laws and economic espionage. His espionage activities took place before the negotiations for the anti-spying agSmart Grid mit LTE Routernreement. Swiss MP Corina Eichenberger, vice-president of a delegation that supervises the FIS, said such counter-espionage was part of the intelligence service’s remit and that this operation was carried out within the law. The issue of the ‘tax cheat’ CDs has upset Swiss-German relations in the past. Since 2006 German states have paid millions to unknown sources for the CDs, resulting in a major crackdown on tax cheats. Many of Germany’s rich and powerful have had to issue public apologies for stashing away their wealth abroad, while many others have been compelled to come forward and report their accounts abroad, pay back taxes on the interest earned plus a fine. However things have changed considerably since then and such ‘tax cheat’ CDs are no longer necessary. In 2015 Switzerland made efforts to end banking secrecy by agreeing to the automatic exchange of information on bank accounts held by foreigners in Switzerland.
