Iranischer Geheimdienst baut Spionagenetzwerk in Deutschland aus – Die Welt

Die Welt reports that Iran’s intelligence service is expanding its spy network in Germany by pressuring exiled dissidents.

Agents often seize a relative’s phone in Iran, then use threats against the family to force exiles in Germany to act as informants at opposition events.

German intelligence confirms a sharp rise in Iranian espionage, and many victims are too afraid to go to the police.

This campaign comes alongside a surge in executions in Iran and new laws that label contact with foreign media as espionage.
