Spain Confirms Huawei Use for Wiretaps, Denies Security Risk

Spain said it only relies on Huawei Technologies Co. to operate part of its wiretapping system, and dismissed any security risks.

Huawei storage within the so-called Sitel judicial wiretapping system “represents a minor part of a watertight, audited, isolated and certified system in compliance with the national high-level security scheme,” a government official said in a statement on Friday in response to questions from Bloomberg News.
