Germany has reportedly dropped a probe into the alleged tapping of German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s phone by the United States’ National Security Agency (NSA).
The office of the Federal Prosecutor, Harald Range, said that the American spy agency had failed to provide enough evidence to justify legal action, reported the BBC.
The alleged phone tapping was made public by whistleblower Edward Snowden while leaking documents pertaining to large-scale surveillance by U.S. in 2013. The revelation had strained the German-U.S. ties.(ANI)
