Check out "Europe as a Software Colony" [1], it's an excellent documentary including about the Munich case specifically.

Then watch the Scale 22x talk of the former Mexican CTO, because those stories are so close to industrial espionage it's absurd what kind of influence Microsoft has over diplomats and ambassadors. [2]

Let's not forget that since Snowden we know former German Chancellor Angela Merkel was spied on by the NSA.

German govt has been a bit embarrassed by this.
