A man working for a German legislator in the European Parliament has been arrested for alleged espionage on behalf of China, according to the German prosecutor. The suspect, known only as Jian G., was apprehended in Dresden on Monday and is reportedly part of the Alternative for Germany party, which is led by Maxim ah Hyn Krah, who is running as the main candidate for the far-right formation in upcoming elections to the community parliament scheduled for early June.

The arrest of three other Germans suspected of spying for China and transferring sensitive information for possible military uses adds to these fears.
The case highlights the need for maintaining strict security measures and monitoring potential threats at all levels of government and international organizations. It also underscores the importance of collaboration between countries and intelligence agencies to address such risks and safeguard sensitive information from exploitation by foreign entities.
