File photo: Leipzig police on duty. A Chinese woman has been arrested in Leipzig, Germany, on suspicion of acting as a foreign agent and leaking information about weapons shipments.
The report from the German Attorney General states that the suspect, identified as Yaqi X, allegedly passed information obtained during her employment at a logistics company at Leipzig/Halle Airport to a Chinese agent. This agent is currently undergoing separate legal proceedings.
According to the report from the German Attorney General, the suspect transmitted information in 2023 and 2024 that included flight, cargo, and passenger data, as well as detailed information on the transport of military equipment and personnel related to German arms companies.
Germany's Federal Prosecutor's Office indicated that Yaqi X. was immediately transferred to an investigative judge at the Federal Supreme Court after her arrest and is undergoing further investigation.
Her arrest highlights the complexity of Chinese espionage activities and their extensive reach in Europe.
The Chinese Embassy in Berlin did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Reuters.
In the past year, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced a strategy to reduce economic risks in relations with China, referring to Beijing as a "partner, competitor, and systemic rival." Since then, tensions between Berlin and Beijing have been escalating.
