Germany dislikes Nokia’s decision to close their factory in Bochum so much that they’re demanding the 4 billion Euros ($6.24 billion) that was given to the Finnish company for conducting 4 research projects around new antenna and wireless transmission technology.

This is on top of the $92 million they asked for last week.
