Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Friday rejected allegations by German Chancellor Angela Merkel that Russian hackers had spied on her.
"Five years have passed. Not a single concrete fact has been provided," Lavrov said in a live interview with Russia's RBC news website.
Speaking in parliament on Wednesday, Merkel voiced frustration that Russia was targeting her in hacking attacks as she tried to build a better relationship with Moscow.
She said she had concrete proof of the "outrageous" spying attempts.
Lavrov charged that Berlin had decided Moscow was guilty even though "there are no facts in relation to Russia."
German media reported that data from Merkel's email account was among information copied by hackers in 2015 in an attack that also targeted the Bundestag.
Reports in German media have named the suspect as Dmitry Badin, who is also wanted by the FBI for other cyberattacks, including those targeting the Democrats during the 2016 US presidential election.
Merkel raised the specter of new sanctions against Russia if the rogue activity did not stop, adding that he attacks "pained" her.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
