THREE Chinese spies have reportedly been arrested in Germany for passing on military secrets to Beijing and stealing clever laser technology.
The main suspect has been dubbed Thomas R and is said to have been in contact with an employee of the Chinese secret service .The couple run a company in Düsseldorf and investigators are convinced the company could have served “as a medium for establishing contact and collaboration” with German scientists and researchers.
The three arrested are accused of stealing a specially made laser from German labs under MSS orders, say the Federal Prosecutor's Office. It is believed they managed to sneak the device out of Europe and into the hands of Chinese secret agents.The engines are commonly used in combat ships in war zones.The grave concerns over intelligence leaks come after Germany fumbled important information into the hands of Russian spies.But former chairman of the Commons Defence Committee, Conservative MP Tobias Ellwood, insisted the leak was “worrying on a number of levels”.
