Financial Times, 14 Nov. 1996 Germany's top prosecutor has warned companies they must tighten security precautions in the face of industrial espionage from Russia and eastern Europe which is costing them billions of dollars a year. Federal Prosecutor Kay Nehm said the end of the Cold War had reduced military and political tension between east and west but foreign intelligence services were more active than ever in trying to steal secrets from German companies. He said many foreign intelligence services were concentrating on industrial espionage to justify their continued existence as it offered considerable financial rewards. He singled out Russia as an example.
