German MEP Maximilan Kra, whose parliamentary aide was arrested on suspicion of spying for China, on Tuesday distanced himself from the accusations against his adviser and said he learned about the case through the media.
“This morning I learned from the press about the arrest of my colleague Jian Guo. I have no additional information. Spying for a foreign country is a serious charge. If the allegations are true, this will result in immediate termination of the employment relationship. “, the parliamentarian who heads the list of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in the next European elections said on social media.
The suspect was arrested on Monday in the city of Dresden, German federal prosecutors said on Tuesday. German prosecutors also said that the adviser had been working for a member of the European Parliament since 2019.
