Frankfurt: A German academic's wife has been charged with spying for China for nearly a decade, media reports said quoting German prosecutors .

Federal prosecutors on Monday said she assisted her husband in sharing information with Chinese secret services.

According to prosecutors in Karlsruhe, German-Italian national Klara K. and her husband Klaus L. were approached by Chinese agents during a lecture tour to Shanghai in 2010, reports AFP news agency.

From then until November 2019,  the couple "regularly passed on information to the Chinese intelligence service in the run-up to or after state visits or multinational conferences", prosecutors alleged as quoted by the news agency.
