Yes, "it may". German agencies are famous for "isolated incidents". It's only a matter of definition what's to be called "isolated".
Those isolated incidents reach back even to the "Operation Gehlen"[0], the predecessor of the BND which was founded in 1946. One could say that the history of German agencies is the history of isolated incidents. While this may hold true for intelligence agencies all over the world, the historic ties leave a very bad taste regarding right-wing-terror in Germany. The "National Socialist Underground" (NSU)[1] was only the tip of the iceberg.

- cm3 10y agoRegarding NSU, to this day I've failed to figure out how they dubbed their pink panther video with what sounds like the original German dub voice and made it sound good. Searching on the internet is hard because it finds all kinds of irrelevant stuff. Would like to know more and if this is easily possible for extremists with laptops to accomplish in such seamless quality, if it's a stitch-work of existing audio tracks. It's the same level of quality as the Obama video+audio stitch-work in Mr Robot.
