The NSA is not only spying on investigating terrorist cases, innocent citizens and world leaders, but also conducting industrial espionage, Edward Snowden said.
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 was spying on the Brazilian company Petrobras oil, and SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication), which gave the Service access to any banking and credit transaction. While the NSA has denied that it conducts industrial espionage, the actions above do Companies prove exactly the opposite.
"If there is information that Siemens may be useful in the US national interest - even if it has nothing to do with national security - then the agency 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.
