The federal prosecutor issued a press release about the man, called Klaus L., who “allegedly supplied the Chinese secret service with information for almost a decade, starting in 2010.

German public broadcaster ARD reported that the man, now 75, provided the BND with information for 50 years, leading a ‘double life.'” The man worked for the Hanns Seidel Foundation
