CIA and German intelligence controlled majority of Swiss firm Crypto AG for decades, reports say. U.S. Central Intelligence Agency and German BND intelligence service secretly owned majority of Crypto AG. CIA’s code name for Crypto AG was “Minerva,” a reference to the Roman goddess of wisdom, according to the Washington Post and German TV station ZDF. Other countries, including the U.K., Canada, Australia and New Zealand – collectively known collectively as the Five Eyes – may have benefited from this relationship.”]
