Operation Rubikon

(August 27, 2020)

Jahrzehntelang belauschten BND und CIA die verschlĂŒsselte Kommunikation von ĂŒber 100 Staaten. Die Operation „Rubikon“ wurde bis heute geheim gehalten. Sie gilt als grĂ¶ĂŸter Erfolg des BND.

Opfer des Lauschangriffs waren arabische und sĂŒdamerikanische LĂ€nder, aber auch NATO-Partner. Sie vertrauten der Krypto-Technik eines schweizerischen Herstellers – und wurden betrogen. Welche politischen Folgen hatte das jahrelange Mitlesen geheimer Nachrichten?

Politische Handlungen durch Rubikon

Die „Rubikon“-Papiere belegen erstmals, dass BND und CIA zum Beispiel frĂŒhzeitig ĂŒber den Sturz des chilenischen PrĂ€sidenten Allende 1973 und die schweren Menschenrechtsverletzungen durch die argentinische MilitĂ€rjunta informiert waren. Politische Folgen, etwa in Form von Protesten der Bundesregierung, hatte das nicht.

Auch im Falklandkrieg kamen die fĂŒr den Sieg der Briten notwendigen Informationen aus der Operation „Rubikon“: Der BND konnte den militĂ€rischen Funkverkehr der Argentinier entschlĂŒsseln. Das britische MilitĂ€r war so ĂŒber die Bewegungen der argentinischen StreitkrĂ€fte informiert. Einer der klar belegbaren FĂ€lle, in denen „Rubikon“ konkrete – und blutige – Konsequenzen hatte.

KĂŒhn und skandaltrĂ€chtig

Einer der grĂ¶ĂŸten Abnehmer fĂŒr die manipulierten schweizerischen VerschlĂŒsselungsgerĂ€te war der Iran. Jahrzehntelang waren Deutsche und Amerikaner deshalb bestens ĂŒber die geheimen Regierungskommunikationen des Ajatollah-Regimes informiert und nutzten diese Kenntnisse zum Beispiel in der GeiselaffĂ€re, um die US-Botschaftsangehörigen freizubekommen.

Geheimdienstexperte Prof. Richard Aldrich wertete die dem ZDF exklusiv vorliegenden geheimen Akten aus. Sein Fazit: „Die Operation Rubikon war eine der kĂŒhnsten und auch skandaltrĂ€chtigsten Operationen, denn ĂŒber hundert Staaten zahlten Milliarden Dollar dafĂŒr, dass ihnen ihre Staatsgeheimnisse gestohlen wurden.“

Der Dokumentation liegen langjĂ€hrige Recherchen von ZDFinfo, „Frontal 21“, der „Washington Post“ und der „Rundschau“ des Schweizer Fernsehens SRG zugrunde.

Cryptoleaks – Wie CIA und BND mit Schweizer Hilfe weltweit spionierten | Doku | SRF Dok

(Februar 13, 2020)

Die CIA und der BND spionierten mit manipulierten ChiffriergerÀten der Schweizer Firma Crypto AG jahrzehntelang mehr als 100 Staaten aus, darunter auch befreundete LÀnder. Dies belegen Recherchen von SRF Rundschau, ZDF und Washington Post.

m Zentrum steht ein Aktenordner mit explosivem Inhalt: 280 Seiten, bisher unbekannte Papiere der Geheimdienste CIA und BND. Sie belegen eine weltweite Geheimdienstoperation. Die geleakten Papiere werfen ein höchst fragwĂŒrdiges Licht auf die Schweiz und auf das Zuger Unternehmen Crypto AG, eine Firma fĂŒr VerschlĂŒsselungstechnik.

Über manipulierte Chiffriermaschinen der ehemaligen VerschlĂŒsselungsfirma horchten die Geheimdienste CIA und BND jahrzehntelang ĂŒber hundert Staaten ab. Im Nahen Osten, in Asien, in SĂŒdamerika und auch in Europa wurde die geheime Kommunikation befreundeter und feindlicher Staaten abgefangen und ausgewertet. Alle abgehörten LĂ€nder hatten ihre Crypto-Chiffriermaschinen im guten Glauben in der neutralen Schweiz gekauft.

Welche Folgen hatte die Überwachungsoperation auf die internationale Politik der Nachkriegszeit? Wie gingen die Geheimdienstleute der CIA und des BND vor? Wie wurden die Schweizer ChiffriergerĂ€te manipuliert? Was wussten die Schweizer Behörden? Und was bedeutet dieser Skandal fĂŒr die Schweizer NeutralitĂ€t?

Operation Rubicon: How the CIA and BND Spied on the World

(August 2, 2025)

Operation Rubicon was a joint covert operation carried out by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the West German Federal Intelligence Service (BND) during the Cold War. The operation involved the acquisition and operation of a Swiss company called Crypto AG, which was a leading manufacturer of encryption machines used by governments, militaries, and intelligence agencies around the world.

Under Operation Rubicon, the CIA and BND secretly purchased Crypto AG and then modified the encryption machines to allow the intelligence agencies to eavesdrop on the communications of foreign governments and intelligence services that used the machines. The operation reportedly began in the 1950s and continued until the early 2000s.

The operation was considered one of the most successful and longest-running espionage operations of the Cold War, allowing the CIA and BND to intercept and decipher sensitive communications from numerous countries, including Iran, Argentina, and Libya. However, the operation was eventually exposed in 2020 through investigative reporting by several news organizations, leading to widespread criticism of the intelligence agencies involved and calls for greater transparency and accountability in intelligence operations.

Starlink Has Privatized Geopolitics

(March 20, 2026)

Starlink is far more than a commercial connectivity service. It is strategic infrastructure that increasingly shapes how wars are fought, how states manage internal unrest, and how criminal networks operate in ungoverned spaces. What makes Starlink so politically consequential is not just its globe-spanning reach but also the governance model behind it.

A private company is now a gatekeeper in orbit, helping decide who connects as well as where, under what conditions, and with what technical constraints. In a growing number of conflicts, these decisions carry military and political effects that states struggle to replicate or control. If many strategic supply chains now depend on private firms, Starlink is an unusually concentrated case of private discretion over public security functions.
