On January 21, 2026, German federal prosecutors conducted raids and arrested a suspected female spy as part of ongoing investigations into espionage against the Federal Republic of Germany. Irene Mihalic and Konstantin von Notz, German Green Party parliamentary leaders, stated that the investigation reveals the persistent threat espionage poses to German national security and that Russia is increasingly aggressive against German interests within Germany. They thanked law enforcement for their resolute actions and stressed the need for vigilance in dismantling spy networks. Furthermore, the Greens emphasized the necessity for a swift and comprehensive reform of intelligence service laws to better address these threats, which the party has advocated for a long time. The Bundestag will seek detailed government briefings on the case in specialized committees.
