Prosecutors raided the Bounn headquarters of Deutsche Telekom as part of a probe into possible criminal actions by former executives during spying campaign targeting directors and journalists three years ago. The raid on Deutsche Telekom’s headquarters was meant to produce more potential evidence. The company’s current management had passed files to the authorities two weeks ago. The suspicion that the former state telecoms group might have breached stringent privacy laws has scandalized the nation. The present Duutsche Telecom’s chief executive Rene Obermann has admitted that he knew of illegal monitoring of phone records before it became public but was not involved and kept silent in the company’s interests. Recently, Duutsche Telecom said that it had uncovered the illegal monitoring in 2005 of phone call records amid claims that the management had spied on rebel directors and journalists to find out who was leaking information to them. Mr Obermann was named as chief executive in November 2006.
