The trial of Jian G, a former aide to AfD politician Maximilian Krah, began in Dresden, Germany, on August 5th. Jian G is accused of spying for China, having allegedly worked for Chinese intelligence since 2002. During his time as Krah's assistant in the European Parliament (2019–2024), he is said to have passed on more than 500 documents classified as sensitive, including information on EU negotiations and decisions.
In addition to these allegations, Jian G is accused of collecting personal information on AfD leaders like Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla, as well as spying on Chinese opposition members in Germany. A second defendant, Yaqi X, a Chinese national working at Leipzig Airport, is accused of assisting Jian G by providing information on flights, cargo, passengers, and military equipment transport linked to German arms companies.
Jian G's defense has rejected the espionage allegations, claiming that his contact with China was work-related and no sensitive information was shared. The trial is expected to continue through September[1][2][3][4][5].
