An employee of the German press bureau has been arrested on suspicion of spying for Egypt for years. German Interior Minister Horst Zehoff announced this Thursday. "We are not responding to investigations that are underway," noted Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman Stephen Seibert, while the Attorney General's Office admitted he was suspected of spying.
The employee was employed at an intermediate level, the Child reported. This means that the spy spy suspect had to undergo a two-year examination and training to get the job. According to the report, the German police took "significant steps" against him in December 2019. In a report, they reported that the Germans found indications that the security services of the A-Sisi regime were trying to recruit Egyptians living in Germany for intelligence gathering. This is done through the diplomatic missions in Germany, as well as through the visits of those Egyptians to their mother country.
Apparently, the main target of A-Sisi and his people was information about Egypt living in Germany and suspected of being members of the Muslim Brotherhood - the great enemy of the current government in Egypt. As I recall, in June last year, former President and Muslim Brotherhood Muhammad Morsi fell into his heart during a hearing on his case and died. He is just one of many of this organization in Egypt pursued by membership in an organization that strives to establish a state of law in Egypt. Also, the secret service members of A-Sisi apparently also followed the Coptic Christian community in Germany.
According to the German government's statement, the same suspect "worked for years in the Egyptian secret service". This is, in fact, a new and significant claim regarding the activities of the Egyptian intelligence service led by Abbas Kamel. The Egyptian senior, who has a good and regular relationship with Israeli officials, has so far been known in the PR, mainly, as an Egyptian senior who deals with Middle East issues - and now, apparently, in his attempts to maintain internal stability in Egypt, he does not take measures - including Cairo relations risk With large and important countries.
