Just one day after three German businesspeople were arrested on charges of spying for China, an employee of MEP Maximilian Krah from the right-wing German AfD party, Jian G., was arrested on Wednesday. According to the allegations, however, G. was not simply recruited to spy for China. According to the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office, the Chinese native is even an employee of a Chinese secret agency – meaning he is a trained agent who recently acquired German citizenship.
