The online edition of Focus still does not mention this story. I do not buy the print edition.

I know somebody in the BND whom I could call and ask. But if there is sufficient truth in this story, he probably will be adamant in not confirming nor rejecting it as long as I have no personal security interest in the story (which then would be a friend's service, and I do not intend to abuse that by talking about it in public).

I will put up a link if the story will appear in online-Focus tomorrow.

However, I do not like this Fin. His political intentions, as far as they lead beyond Finland, are not what I want for Europe. His position on Turkey's EU membership and the purpose of the negotiations, and my opinion on all this, couldn't be more apart. His remarks on the Balkan's problems often made me wonder if he could really be serious. If the accusations with regard to the Serbian issue are true, I would also like to examine if he also was bought by the Turks. Some statements he made, and more: the way in which he put them, really made me wonder if he really is representing the official EU line of "open negotiations", because he often made it sound like if Turkey's membership already is decided. Hope he brakes his teeth when trying to bite it out with Sarkozy.
