DW: Germany summons Russian ambassador over parliament hacking attack

Berlin has threatened Moscow with EU sanctions for allegedly hacking the Bundestag. The diplomatic row between the two countries has intensified since the 2019 killing of a Georgian man in the streets of Berlin.

Germany summoned Russia's ambassador to the Foreign Ministry on Thursday over a hacking attack on German parliament in 2015.

The ministry summoned ambassador Sergei Nechayev to inform him of Russian citizen Dmitry Badin, who, in 2015, allegedly played a role in a hacking attack on the Bundestag at a time when he was working for Russia's GRU military intelligence agency.

The ministry added that it was seeking European Union (EU) sanctions against the hacking suspect.
