Germany's far-right AfD party is accused of gathering politically sensitive information for the Kremlin as part of alleged espionage activities.

In October 2023, Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party faced accusations from multiple German opposition parties of collecting information for the Kremlin to undermine democracy and support Russian interests. The spying allegations include accusations that AfD members gathered intelligence, such as identities of individuals supporting Ukraine, for Russia. This scandal is tied with broader concerns over Russia's influence in Germany through political proxies and espionage. Several parliamentarians demanded investigations into the matter. The AfD has denied the spy claims, framing them as political attacks. The issue raised alarm over potential Kremlin-linked human intelligence operations embedded within a major German political party.
