Guo Jian (郭建), who worked for German far-right lawmaker Maximilian Krah in the European Parliament, has been charged with spying for China for more than four years.
The office of the federal prosecutor accused Guo of working for a Chinese intelligence service and of repeatedly passing on information on negotiations and decisions in the European Parliament between Sep 2019 and Apr 2024, when he was arrested.
He also allegedly snooped on Chinese dissidents in Germany.
Guo, a German citizen, remains in custody.
The federal prosecutor alleges that Guo obtained more than 500 documents, including some that the EU Parliament had classified as particularly sensitive, for 
intelligence service, his employer since 2002.
Guo also allegedly gathered information on prominent politicians with the far-right Alternative for Germany, or AfD.
A citizen identified as Yaqi X., who worked for a company that provides logistics services, was also charged. She allegedly helped Guo by providing him with information regarding flights, cargo and passengers at Leipzig Airport (x.com/byron_wan/stat). She passed along information about military equipment transport as well as details about people with connections to a German arms company.
