Classified documents from Germany’s Ministry of Interior obtained by Netzpolitik.org reveal that the country’s federal police has purchased the controversial FinFisher spyware from the Eleman/Gamma Group.
FinFisher is currently used by many governments around the world to spy on activists and to keep their citizens in line.
By turning to such software, Germany is basically joining the ranks of authoritarian regimes such as the ones from Qatar, Ethiopia, Mongolia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and many others.
