BERLIN (AP) — A man who worked for a prominent German far-right lawmaker in the European Parliament was convicted Tuesday of spying for China for more than four years, according to German news agency dpa. His former boss, far-right lawmaker Maximilian Krah, previously identified him. Earlier this month, Germany’s parliament lifted Krah’s immunity in connection with allegations that he also has had ties to China and was involved in corruption and spying scandals. Lifting his immunity as a lawmaker was a necessary step for authorities to prosecute him. Still, he won a seat in the German parliament earlier this year as part of the party’s historic gains in the Bundestag during the national election.
