Germany grants intelligence agencies sabotage powers

The German government has launched a comprehensive reform of the national intelligence agencies, granting them expanded powers that include conducting covert operations both domestically and abroad. This update aims to enhance intelligence capabilities in response to the increasing threats following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, by allowing them to carry out secret operations, disable computer systems, and intervene in cyberattacks. The agency will be permitted to carry out sabotage acts overseas when necessary, without the need for explicit permission to carry weapons, while still respecting restrictions on the use of violence. However, critics have raised concerns about the expansion of surveillance powers and the reduction of data protection rights, sparking fears over privacy violations and civil liberties. The reforms are expected to come into effect next year after parliamentary approval.
