Germany's fragmented security structure dates back to the end of World War II, when the Allies broke up the Nazi agencies in order to prevent a resurgence of the Gestapo. Police were also banned from gathering domestic intelligence, so each state created its own intelligence agency, which coordinates with the other agencies but only reports to its own state government. Schily reasons that if he can't make the BKA and other agencies come to him, the next best thing...

Germany's fractured security system dates back to the aftermath of World War II, when law enforcement was broken down into isolated agencies to prevent the emergence of another Gestapo. Today, six different federal agencies have their own tiny slivers of homeland security turf, while each of Germany's 16 states has its own local intelligence-gathering and enforcement organizations.
