US intelligence services tapped telephone conversations of the three presidents Jacques Chirac of France, Nicolas Sarkozy and Francois Hollande, Cabinet ministers and ambassadors of the country in US says WikiLeaks. The period of surveillance covers the period from 2006 to 2012. WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said that the French people have a right to know about spying by the US. The work was carried out with publications Liberation and Mediapart.

Earlier “Kommersant” reported that German Chancellor Angela Merkel urged the German intelligence services continue to cooperate with the US and other intelligence services. These statements she made on the background of another scandal with the NSA spying for German citizens and demands of the opposition to submit data on the practice of surveillance.
