NSA Document on Cell Phone Surveillance of
German Chancellor Angela Merkel
A document published by Der Spiegel in late October 2013 from information provided by Snowden was taken as evidence that the NSA had been monitoring German chancellor Angela Merkel’s cell phone, probably since 2002. It appears to be a targeting record for Merkel, perhaps from an NSA database. An earlier, unrelated Snowden disclosure identified SYNAPSE as an NSA effort to analyze communications of foreign intelligence targets. German officials were already disturbed by previous Snowden disclosures that indicated that the NSA had engaged in mass surveillance of Germans’ communications. These disclosures prompted Germany to support efforts to strengthen the right to privacy in international law, terminate a Cold War–era intelligence agreement with the United States, and engage in talks with the U.S. government to establish a new intelligence relationship. The revelation about Merkel’s cell phone damaged U.S.-German relations significantly, and U.S.-German relations on intelligence continued to deteriorate. The German government did not renew a contract with Verizon, a U.S. company, because of concerns about security, and expelled the CIA station chief in Germany over allegations (not related to Snowden) that the CIA was attempting to get information through an employee of Germany’s domestic intelligence service. The rancor over Merkel’s cell phone overshadowed other Snowden disclosures reported in the German press that indicated the NSA had close relations with German intelligence agencies, which raised questions in Germany about the activities of its own spies. Adding to the controversy, a German prosecutor investigating the alleged tapping of Merkel’s cell phone stated in December 2014 that he had not found clear evidence the NSA engaged in such activity or even that the document in question came from the NSA.
