A BSI spokesperson said on Thursday that no anomalies were found requiring further investigation or other measures. In September, the Lithuanian Ministry of Defense recommended consumers avoid buying Chinese smartphones or getting rid of the devices they have already purchased. Xiaomi had always denied the allegations.
