| Swiss officials are pressing for an investigation into the US-German espionage operation |
Senior members of the Swiss Legislative Council have called for a parliamentary investigation into espionage, and US and German intelligence agencies use the Swiss coding company as a spy to spy on other countries.
The government appointed a former judge of the Supreme Court (the Rubicon trial), where the CIA and West German spy agency secretly use the BND Crypto to monitor classified information in other countries.
He will submit a report by the end of June when the report is submitted to the Cabinet. However, Parliament launched its own investigation to find out what is called the Swiss plan.
Although the main lines of the Rubicon program have been known for many years, investigative journalists in Switzerland, Germany and the United States have recently published new details about the scope and duration. If the Swiss government is aware of this process and ignores it, Switzerland can be considered a neutral meeting point in international affairs.
The center-left Social Democrats in Switzerland called for a full parliamentary investigation, while the other two parties said they were ready to conduct a full investigation, the fifth in Swiss history.
The company uses its "neutral" base in Switzerland to support the sale of blade manufacturing equipment to Iran, India, Pakistan, Libya, Egypt, Chile and other countries. Argentina, as well as dozens of other countries that have already paid millions of dollars for surveillance. According to the Washington Post and the ZDF, as well as the SRF and German broadcasters of the SRF, the technology has been modified to be penetrated by US and German intelligence agencies.
