Also on trial is a Chinese national named as Jaqi X. She worked at a firm that provided Leipzig airport with logistics services.<\/p>\n
From mid-August 2023 to mid-February 2024, she is accused of assisting Jian G by repeatedly providing him with information for the Chinese intelligence service about flights, cargo, and passengers at Leipzig Airport.<\/p>\n
The information related in particular to the transport of military equipment and people with connections to a German defence contractor.<\/p>\n
She told the court she knew nothing about connections to the Chinese intelligence service.<\/p>\n
The trial is expected to last until late September and reports in the German media say Maximilian Krah has been called to appear as a witness.<\/p>\n
Krah resigned from his seat in the European Parliament earlier this year. He was elected to the Bundestag in February via an AfD direct mandate in Saxony.<\/p>\n
He is currently under investigation by the Dresden Public Prosecutor’s Office, reportedly concerning allegations of money laundering and corruption as an elected representative in the European Parliament.<\/p>\n
Krah has called the accusations “absurd and politically motivated.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Also on trial is a Chinese national named as Jaqi X.
