The NSA not only spies to investigate cases of terrorism, innocent citizens and world leaders, but also conducts industrial espionage, Edward Snowden reported.
The former NSA employee made the statement to a German television network without breaking news data, as he is wont to do.
We already know that the NSA spied on the Brazilian oil company Petrobras, and SWIFTSociety for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication), which gave the Service access to any banking and credit transaction. While the NSA has denied industrial espionage, the actions in the above companies confirm the opposite.
"If there is information that Siemens can be useful to the national interests of the US - even if it has nothing to do with the national better safety – then the service will get that information,” Snowden said.
In the same interview, Snowden said he no longer has any documents or information about NSA's activities and that all the archives have journalists.
