In investigations into a suspected drug gang, an employee of the Berlin public prosecutor's office was targeted by the investigators.
The woman is in a relationship with one of the suspects, as prosecutor spokesman Sebastian Büchner announced on Friday.
There is an initial suspicion that she asked for confidential information and possibly warned her partner.
Berlin - The 24-year-old is said to have dealt in drugs on a large scale and was arrested last Wednesday in Berlin along with four other men.
The public prosecutor's office was also affected by the searches, it was said.
Proceedings were initiated against the woman on June 10 on suspicion of frustration, said Büchner.
The woman is currently not working and meanwhile has no way of accessing the authority's data.
He did not provide any further information about the employee.
