America has paid £100m (€114m) over the last three years to get access to and influence the direction of intelligence gathering by the UK surveillance department, the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), splashed The Guardian on its front page.
The evidence, part of the dossier of documents leaked by Edward Snowden, the former contractor for the US spy network, the National Security Agency (NSA), will “raise fears about the hold Washington has over the UK's biggest and most important intelligence agency”, writes the daily.
The papers also show that GCHQ is funding efforts to gather personal information from mobile phones and applications.
