The site Cryptome, considered a sort of ancestor of Wikileaks, claims that in Italy the National Security Agency spied on 46 million phone calls between 10 December 2012 and 8 January 2013. More precisely: 46 million telephone "metadata" (dialed telephone number, identity of the receiver and of the caller, duration of the call). This is what emerges from an analysis of the NSA program "Boundless Information", first revealed in June by the British Guardian, in which on a world map the American electronic 007s managed to quantify the flow of tracked information. Overall, second Cryptome, phone calls spied on by the NSA in one month were 124,8 billion worldwide, including the United States.
Meanwhile in Germany on this affair she exploded Merkel's wrath. "Espionage is a crime and whoever practices it must answer to justice": these are the words spoken to the German Interior Minister, Hans-Peter Friedrich, referring to Datagate, the weekly Bild am Sonntag, the Sunday edition of Europe's most widely read newspaper.
The German press reveals the irritation of the German ruling class regarding the Datagate scandal and the wiretapping of German Chancellor Angela Merkel implemented by the United States: the US president Barack Obama – always according to what the minister declared to the German newspaper – he knew everything since 2010 on spying on Angela Merkel by the National Security Agency.
