German prosecutors have charged an alleged accomplice, Jaqi X., who worked for a logistics company at Leipzig airport. She is suspected of providing Jian G. with information about flights, cargo, and passengers, particularly regarding the transportation of military equipment and individuals linked to a German arms company.

Jian G. was arrested in April 2024 and has remained in pretrial detention, while Jaqi X. has been in pretrial detention since September 2024.

Krah, AfD’s top candidate in the previous year’s European election, is under a separate investigation for allegedly accepting payments from Russia and China during his time as a member of the European Parliament.

Krah denied any knowledge of his former assistant’s activities and claimed he was “deceived.” He will testify as a witness in Jian G.’s trial.

The trial will continue until the end of September, with further hearings scheduled for this week.

    Seems like the far-right’s got a new hobby—spying for takeout orders instead of actual policies. Who knew Leipzig airport doubled as a spy hub? 😂✈️
