The Bundestag has approved a sweeping reform of Germany’s intelligence services, expanding the powers of the Federal Intelligence Service (BND) and the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV). The new rules will allow active operations abroad, expand digital surveillance capabilities and allow access to residential premises under certain conditions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is reported by Bild<\/a> .<\/p>\n

The bill was supported by 309 Bundestag members, 190 voted against, and 71 abstained. The reform has been called the largest change to intelligence legislation in German history.<\/p>\n

The Federal Intelligence Service (BND), which is responsible for foreign intelligence, will be able to conduct active operations abroad. In particular, it will be allowed to disable the servers of state hacking groups, penetrate the computer systems of companies that produce chemical weapons or drones, and sabotage their work. The reform also provides for the possibility of interfering in the supply chains of weapons and sabotage equipment.<\/p>\n

The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) will be given the right to secretly enter residential premises under strictly defined conditions. This may be necessary, in particular, to access data on electronic devices or to deactivate weapons and explosives.<\/p>\n

In addition, the BfV will be able to make more extensive use of digital surveillance, analyze data using artificial intelligence, and use biometric image recognition.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the special services will not receive police powers. Only the police will be able to detain people and conduct open searches, as before.<\/p>\n

The most serious operations of the special services will undergo a preliminary review by an independent oversight body, which includes former judges.<\/p>\n
