Germany Arrests U.S. Citizen for Alleged Espionage for China

The suspect, a former U.S. military employee in Germany, is accused of offering sensitive information to Chinese intelligence agencies.

Martin D., the arrested U.S. citizen, was apprehended in Frankfurt and his home was searched as part of the investigation.
He is suspected of contacting Chinese state officials earlier this year to offer U.S. military information obtained through his employment.
German prosecutors have not confirmed if any data was successfully transferred to Chinese authorities.
The arrest is part of broader German efforts to counteract espionage, with several similar cases reported this year involving China.
The investigation was conducted in collaboration with Germany's Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution.
