Chinese woman arrested in Leipzig for espionage
A Chinese woman has now been arrested in Leipzig for allegedly working for a secret service in her country of origin (see video above). She had given information to a former employee of Afd politician Maximilian Krah, the German federal prosecutor's office announced on Tuesday.
The long-time Krah employee Jiang G. is a suspected agent and was already arrested in April on suspicion of espionage. The federal prosecutor's office accuses him of spying on Chinese opposition members in Germany and passing on information about negotiations in the European Parliament to the secret service.
His accomplice may now have been caught. Yagi X. is said to have provided him with information about flights, cargo and passengers at the airport between mid-August 2023 and mid-February 2024.

The Chinese woman was arrested in Leipzig on Monday and brought before the investigating judge. She has been in custody since then. Her home and workplace were also searched.
