Police in Germany have arrested a staff member of the German far-right Alternative for Germany party. Prosecutors say the individual was spying on behalf of China, APA reports citing DW.
The worker, Jian G, is said to have been an assistant to the AfD's top candidate for the European Parliament elections, Maximilian Krah.
Investigators think the suspect may have passed information on parliamentary operations to China's Ministry of State Security (MSS).
In January 2024, the accused repeatedly passed on information about negotiations and decisions in the European Parliament to his intelligence client. He also spied on Chinese opposition figures in Germany for the intelligence service.
