"As of today, we have no evidence whatsoever that Gülen supporters have violated any rules in any way." Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere meanwhile warned Turkey against spying in Germany, saying "espionage activities on German soil is punishable by law and will not be tolerated by us". In February, German police raided the homes of four Turkish Muslim preachers suspected of spying on alleged Gülen supporters for Erdogan's government. Separately, the foreign ministries in Sweden and Denmark have called in Turkey's envoys over claims of Turkish spying on opposition figures living in the Scandinavian countries.
