sukar untuk mendapatkan bukti yang akan berdiri di mahkamah sejak siasatan
bermula pada bulan Jun, berikutan pendedahan bekas kontraktor Agensi
Keselamatan Negara Edward Snowden mengenai menoreh komunikasi para pemimpin DUNIA.
Outlet Jerman Der Spiegel memecahkan cerita mengenai mengintip telefon Angela
Merkel khususnya.
"Sehingga hari ini, tidak ada bukti yang membawa kepada
caj data sambungan yg telah direkodkan atau panggilan telefon dengan Canselor
telah mendengar," kata Pertengahan di sebuah televisyen akhir tahun sidang
akhbar pada Khamis.

Untuk hal ini, beliau berkata, pihak berkuasa Jerman tidak
dapat mendapatkan memegang dokumen NSA yang sahih yang membenarkan ‘wiretapping’
telefon Merkel.
"Dokumen dibentangkan di khalayak ramai sebagai bukti
yang menoreh yg sebenar bagi telefon mudah alih tidak adalah suatu perintah
pengawasan sahih oleh NSA. Ia tidak datang dari pangkalan data NSA itu,
"kata pendakwa.
Pertengahan berkata editor di Spiegel disediakan laporan
akhbar tersebut atas dasar dokumen NSA dia diperiksa secara visual/diperiksa.
No NSA doc, no evidence? German prosecutor says can’t prove
US tapped Merkel’s phone . . .
Germany’s chief prosecutor said there is still no hard
evidence linking the NSA to the tapping of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s phone,
especially because the investigation failed to get a hold of the original NSA
document authorizing the spying.
Prosecutor Harald Range revealed that it has proven difficult
to obtain evidence that would stand up in court since the investigation began
in June, following former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden’s
revelations of the tapping of world leaders’ communications. German outlet Der
Spiegel broke the story on the spying of Angela Merkel’s phone in particular.
“As of today, there is no
evidence leading to charges that connection data were recorded or a phone call
by the chancellor was listened to,” Range said at a televised year-end news conference on
Thursday.
Crucially, he said, German authorities were not able to get a
hold of the authentic NSA document which authorized the wiretapping of Merkel’s
phone.
“The document presented in
public as proof of an actual tapping of the mobile phone is not an authentic
surveillance order by the NSA. It does not come from the NSA database,” the prosecutor said.
Range said that an editor at Spiegel prepared the paper's
report on the basis of the NSA documents he visually inspected/examined.

Sementara itu, NSA kekal tenang sepanjang siasatan dan
Snowden masih belum memberi maklum balas kepada jemputan untuk memberikan
pernyataan bertulis dengan pengetahuannya tentang ‘wiretapping’ itu.
Juga, permintaan Range untuk agensi perisikan Jerman
"tidak mengambil kami lagi," katanya.
Walaupun banyak kemajuan, Range berkata siasatan itu
berterusan. Terdapat juga berharap bahawa suatu siasatan parlimen selari dalam
kejadian itu akan meng-hasilkan sesuatu yang baru.

Skandal itu pada mulanya berlaku apabila wartawan yang
bekerja dgn dokumen bocor Snowden yang dihubungi kerajaan Jerman untuk
mendapatkan penjelasan. Ahli politik Jerman kemudiannya mencadangkan melibatkan
Snowden sebagai saksi dalam kes wiretapping itu.
Menurut laporan Der Spiegel ini, telefon mudah alih Canselor
Jerman yang telah di senarai sasaran NSA sejak tahun 2002 dan telah kod-bernama 'GE
Canselor Merkel.' Mengintip itu masih berkuat kuasa walaupun beberapa minggu
sebelum lawatan Presiden Amerika Syarikat Barack Obama ke Berlin pada bulan Jun
2013.

hubungan antara kedua-dua negara-negara dingin.

Meanwhile, the NSA remained quiet throughout the
investigation and Snowden is yet to respond to an invitation to provide a
written statement on his knowledge of the wiretapping.
Also, Range’s requests to Germany’s spy agency "haven't taken us further," he
said.
Despite little progress, Range said that the investigation
continues. There is also hope that a parallel parliamentary inquiry into the
incident will yield something new.
The scandal initially broke when journalists working with
Snowden’s leaked documents contacted the German government for clarification.
German politicians subsequently suggested involving Snowden as a witness in the
wiretapping case.
According to Der Spiegel’s reports, the German chancellor’s
mobile phone has been on an NSA target list since 2002 and was code-named 'GE
Chancellor Merkel.' The spying was still in force even a few weeks before US
President Barack Obama’s visit to Berlin in June 2013.
Following the revelations, the German public was outraged and
relations between the two countries cooled.
