German authorities say an aide who works for a prominent German far-right lawmaker in the European Parliament has been arrested on suspicion of spying for China.
A man who works for a prominent German far-right lawmaker in the European Parliament has been arrested on suspicion of spying for China, authorities said Tuesday. The detention came less than 24 hours after three people were arrested on suspicion of spying for China in a separate German case. The suspect was arrested Monday in the eastern German city of Dresden, federal prosecutors said in a statement.
Also on Monday, British prosecutors said a former researcher working in the U.K. Parliament and another man were charged with spying for China. Asked in Beijing about the latest arrest in Germany, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said that “the recent reports in Europe about Chinese spying are all hyping up with an aim to smear and suppress China.
