CNN: Germany arrests aide to far-right MEP on suspicion of spying for China
“Jian G. is an employee of a Chinese secret service. He has been working for a German Member of the European Parliament since 2019,” the prosecutor’s office statement said. …
German media quickly identified [far-right Maximilian] Krah as the lawmaker who employed the suspect. … The far-right AfD party has nine seats in the European Parliament, and is competing alongside Germany’s traditional parties in the European elections in June. Krah is the party’s top candidate in those elections.
