BERLIN — The German government accused Vietnamese intelligence services Wednesday of involvement in what it called the kidnapping in Berlin of a former Vietnamese oil executive, and gave the country’s intelligence attache 48 hours to leave Germany. This week, Vietnamese authorities said he turned himself in to police in his homeland on Monday. German authorities, however, believe that he was kidnapped in Berlin on July 23. They say that he had sought asylum in Germany — an application that hadn’t yet been processed — and that Vietnamese authorities had sought his extradition. Calls to the Vietnamese embassy in Berlin were not answered.
