Espionage affair at Leipzig Airport: woman in the focus of investigators!

A new espionage case is causing a stir in Germany and shedding light on the secret machinations of international secret services. This time the focus is on a woman who worked for a logistics company at Leipzig/Halle Airport and is suspected of having collected information for the Chinese secret service.

The arrest of the suspected agent is part of a worrying series of espionage cases that reveal clear connections to German politics. A former employee of AfD MEP Maximilian Krah plays a central role in the ongoing investigation.

Open questions about espionage activities

The Federal Prosecutor's Office has ordered the woman's arrest in custody because suspicions against her are increasing. According to reports, she is said to have passed on crucial information about transport movements of defense goods and about people connected to a German defense company. It is believed that she wanted to use this information to pass it on to Jian Guo and ultimately to Chinese intelligence.

The case has also drawn attention to Jian Guo, who has been in custody since April and was considered a close associate of Maximilian Krah. He is accused of passing on information from the EU Parliament to China and of spying on Chinese opposition members in Germany. More and more details indicate that a sophisticated network exists that has been investigated by German security authorities for months.

Maximilian Krah now once again feels it is his duty to speak out. In a statement on the X platform (formerly Twitter), he emphasized that there was no connection between the woman's arrest and his work and that the accused had only communicated with his former employee. However, the question remains as to what exactly was behind this arrest. The investigation and the woman's arrest come at an inopportune moment, especially since the Federal Prosecutor's Office had already searched Krah's offices in the European Parliament in May.

Jian Guo's involvement is particularly notable because he had tried to work for the Federal Intelligence Service (BND) in the past. However, these efforts were rejected because the BND did not see any trust in him. His attempt to establish cooperation with the Saxon Office for the Protection of the Constitution was also unsuccessful. The development of these espionage cases gives rise to speculation and remains an exciting and explosive topic for politicians and security authorities.

The new findings are already another aspect that is fueling the discussion about foreign influence and espionage activities in Germany. Whether these incidents will have additional implications for the political landscape remains to be seen. The focus is now on the investigation, which will continue to focus intensively on the involvement and role of the AfD politician in connection with the recent arrest.
