Germany’s Interior Minister Nancy Faeser is looking to fire the chief of the federal agency responsible for cybersecurity, Arne Schönbohm, over his alleged contacts with agents of Russia’s security services, Germany’s newspapers reported on Sunday, citing anonymous government sources.
Schönbohm is the president of the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI).
But a recent investigation found that he was also the member of a technology association which counts as a member a German company that is a subsidiary of a Russian cybersecurity firm founded by a former KGB employee.
