Report: German police warned lawmakers of possible Turkish spying
None
BERLIN - German federal police have warned parliamentarians they may have been spied on by Turkish intelligence and may also face potential security risks from Turkish nationalists, Die Welt newspaper reported on Wednesday.
The report could further strain already frayed ties between Germany and Turkey, which are at loggerheads over a wide range of issues.
"The Federal Criminal Police Office carried out so-called 'security discussions' with several members of parliament in recent weeks," Die Welt reported.
"The discussions reportedly centred on the possible surveillance of Turkish intelligence and security risks posed by Turkish nationalists."
The Federal Criminal Police Office was not immediately available to comment on the report.
