The former colleague of Maximilian Krah, a German deputy from the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, was accused of spying for Chinese intelligence: the defendant is suspected of transferring confidential documents during his work as a member of the European Parliament.
The suspicions are that Krah's assistant collected information about the leading politicians of the Alternative for Germany party. We remind you that the AdN is currently among the key, in terms of power, political forces since the parliamentary elections in Germany in February 2025.
