On Monday, January 2, the Federal Prosecutor's Office in Germany accused a 31-year-old Pakistani national named 'Syed Mustafa-H' of espionage for the security organizations of the Islamic Republic. According to the Associated Press, German federal prosecutors stated that the individual had been in contact with an intelligence agency since 2011. In a statement released by the prosecutors, it was noted that the accused had been spying on the head of a group aimed at strengthening relations between Germany and Israel since July 2015. The report claims that this Pakistani national is accused of transferring information to this security organization in exchange for money from the former head of the Germany-Israel Association and his associates. If espionage is proven in this case, the judge could sentence him to up to five years in prison. Reinhard Rapp, the former head of the Germany-Israel Association, previously told the German newspaper Bild that he was not surprised by the news and emphasized that he would not be 'intimidated.' The suspect was arrested in July 2016 in Bremen, Germany. At that time, prosecutors stated without providing details that he was in contact with an Iranian intelligence unit.
