8 Yrs. of Surveillance Shocks Merkel

zaman.com | March 27 2006

A surveillance camera was used to spy on German Chancellor Angela Merkel for eight years, according to a news report.

Madam Chancellor, apparently, was kept under surveillance through a camera installed at a museum across from her home.

The camera was used to spy into the living room of the chancellor’s home from its position on top of the Bergamo Museum in Berlin, uncovered in the news report published in Bild am Sonntag, a German daily.

The museum’s security guards have on going access to the video footage taken by the camera that was installed eight years ago.

In the tapes shown to reporters by security guards, Joachim Sauer, Merkel’s husband, is clearly visible moving about his sitting room.

The German Federal Crime Office has ordered a probe into the video surveillance incident and on reports of possible wrong doing.

Mathias Henkel, Berlin State Museums’ spokesman, said the camera’s angle of vision has since been reduced so as to exclude Merkel’s home.
