Suspected Chinese spies arrested in quiet French town
AI Summary
Two Chinese nationals were arrested in Camblanes-et-Meynac, France, on suspicion of espionage. The men, aged 27 and 29, are accused of using a large parabolic antenna to gather information, raising suspicion among locals due to internet service disruptions. French intelligence believes southwestern France is increasingly targeted for espionage due to its proximity to defense, aerospace, and telecommunication sites. The suspects, who arrived in France last month on work visas, allegedly aimed to capture satellite data, including from Starlink, and transmit it to China. They have been charged with delivering information to a foreign power and are in custody, while two other men of Chinese origin living in France have been charged with providing assistance.
