Russia overheard a conversation between Air Force officers and the Defense Committee met for two hours. “The investigation is continuing, as is the assessment,” says Boris Pistorius in front of the microphones set up.
Pistorius had always emphasized that the eavesdropping operation was only possible because Brigadier General Frank Gräfe had dialed into the group from a hotel room in Singapore via an unprotected cell phone connection. Air Force chief Ingo Gerhartz also apparently allowed himself to be contacted unprotected by telephone.
