Die Welt: Increased activity of Turkish spies in Germany

by

According to him, the growing activity of the Turkish secret services in Germany is reported by the German newspaper Die Welt.

In an article titled “Active agents and a plan to attack a member of the Left”, the newspaper writes, among other things: “By 2021, by December 11, the Federal Prosecutor’s Office had launched a judicial investigation in 22 cases on suspicion of espionage. In 2020 the Federal Prosecutor had initiated the same procedure in 14 cases. That fact must be taken into account. “

Referring specifically to the activities of the Turkish Secret Service (MIT), the Berlin daily notes: espionage. Things are different today: The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution describes Germany as “one of the primary targets of research, outside of Turkey”. The German newspaper then states that “just last October, police arrested a 40-year-old man suspected of spying for Turkey in a luxury hotel in Düsseldorf. In his possession were found ammunition and a list of names of possible targets. In addition, investigators found suspicious transactions in his bank account. The investigation was undertaken by the Federal Prosecutor’s Office. But Dagdelen herself seems to have been, during the election campaign, the target of a person who is active in the nationalist circles of the Gray Wolves. According to WELT, before an event in the city of Gummersbach on September 23, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (BKA) received a warning that there was a specific attack plan aimed at criticizing Erdogan. The BKA proposed the cancellation of the event, which finally took place with significantly increased security measures “.
