Maximilian Krah: Far-right German candidate whose aide was arrested for spying for China to run for European elections

A far-right German politician will continue to run in the upcoming European parliamentary elections despite allegations that his advisor was spying for China. Maximilian Krah, who is a top candidate for the Alternative for Germany party for the June vote, said he would dismiss his aide, Jian G, after he was arrested on Monday. Prosecutors claim Jian G worked for Chinese intelligence and passed on information about negotiations and decisions in the European Parliament in January.

' The investigation is the latest controversy facing the far-right party which sparked national protests earlier in the year after some of its members attended a meeting where the mass deportation of immigrants and asylum seekers was discussed. In an unrelated case, one of its leaders is also on trial for allegedly using Nazi language - a charge he denies.
