Germany extends intelligence powers

The German government has proposed a historic bill since the end of World War II that grants intelligence agencies broad powers, including the ability to disable cyberattacks, conduct sabotage operations abroad, manipulate and delete data, and enter homes without a court order. The amendment aims to strengthen counter-terrorism and anti-extremism efforts amid increasing threats from foreign powers, but it has raised concerns about potential violations of the constitution and the undermining of the principle of separation between intelligence and police agencies, as oversight roles of security bodies are diminished. The law is expected to come into effect in early 2027 following parliamentary approval, paving the way for a new era of intelligence operations in Germany with wider and more sensitive powers.
