US citizen arrested in Germany on suspicion of spying for China
An American citizen who allegedly spied for China was arrested on Thursday, Germany's federal prosecutor office said, as reported by The Associated Press.
The suspect, Martin D., was arrested in Frankfurt and his home was searched, the office said, according to AP.
The suspect had previously worked for the U.S. Armed Forces in Germany and is "strongly suspected of having agreed to act as an intelligence agent for a foreign secret service," AP reported that the statement said.
AP also reported that the accused had contacted the Chinese government earlier this year and offered to "transmit sensitive information from the U.S. military to a Chinese intelligence service," an investigation by Germany's intelligence service found.
The suspect got the information through his work in the U.S. army, AP said the statement noted.
The Hill has contacted Germany's federal prosecutor office for comment.
