(AFP) Shocked by evidence of eavesdropping on government communications, Brazilian police intend to ask US permission to question the heads of tech giants, Globo television reported Friday.
Police did not deny a request had been made to question directly the CEOs of giants such as Facebook, Microsoft, Google, Yahoo and Apple as Brazil investigates US electronic surveillance.
"An investigation is under way but we are not giving details. I am neither confirming nor denying the information," a Federal Police spokesman told AFP.
According to Globo, the police want the United States to authorize investigations outside Brazil under a bilateral agreement on judicial issues between the countries.
Globo reported Brazil's request will be made to the US Justice Department.
A number of technology executives have already been questioned in Brazil and have denied making information on their clients available to US intelligence.
