- The Deutsche Telekom eavesdropping controversy became public at the end of May 2008 through an article in the German weekly Der Spiegel. The prosecutor in Bonn has initiated investigations against eight former members of Deutsche Telekom's advisory board, executive board and former employees. The investigation focuses on alleged eavesdropping against journalists and members of the supervisory executive boards of Deutsche Telekom, allegedly initiated by then chairman of the supervisory board Klaus Zumwinkel and then CEO . The objective of the eavesdropping was to find out who had leaked confidential information about planned lay-offs and acquisitions to the media in 2005 and 2006. According to German law half the members of the advisory board of large publicly listed companies have to be representatives of the employees. These were apparently suspected of having leaked the information. René Obermann, CEO of Deutsche Telekom, cooperated with the public prosecutor, handing over relevant information and allowing his offices to be searched. Moreover, Obermann called on the prestigious former federal judge Dr. to assist Deutsche Telekom in handling the scandal. A member of the German Bundestag compared the possible impact of the scandal in Germany to the Spiegel scandal of 1962. On 24 October 2008, the Big Brother Award 2008 in the category Workplace and Communications was awarded to Telekom for the scandal. (en)
- Die Überwachungsaffäre der Deutschen Telekom AG (in Anlehnung an die Watergate-Affäre auch Telekomgate) umfasst von der Telekom angeordnete Überwachungen von Aufsichtsräten, einem Vorstandsmitglied der Telekom, Angehörigen und Mitarbeitern von Betriebsräten als auch von Gewerkschaftsfunktionären und Journalisten. Die Staatsanwaltschaft Bonn ermittelte gegen acht Beschuldigte, darunter ehemalige leitende Angestellte und Aufsichtsratsmitglieder der Deutschen Telekom AG wegen des Verdachts, das Post- und Fernmeldegeheimnis sowie das Bundesdatenschutzgesetz verletzt zu haben. Ansätze der Affäre wurden der größeren Öffentlichkeit ab Ende Mai 2008 durch einen Spiegel-Artikel bekannt, Es gab rund 60 Opfer der Überwachungen, unter anderem Ver.di-Chef Bsirske. Ziel der Überwachungen war es nach Angaben des damaligen Telekom-Vorstandschefs Kai-Uwe Ricke, undichte Stellen im Konzern zu ermitteln, die für die wiederholte Weitergabe vertraulicher Informationen verantwortlich waren.
