PARIS, Feb 4 (Reuters) - Four people, including two Chinese nationals, have been arrested in France on suspicion of spying for China and have been brought before an investigative judge, the Paris public prosecutor’s office said on Wednesday

On February 4, the cybercrime division of the Paris public prosecutor’s office opened a judicial investigation into the affair, said the prosecutor’s office in a statement.

This followed the discovery that two Chinese nationals had entered French territory with the aim of capturing satellite data from the Starlink network and data from entities of vital importance, particularly military entities, in order to transmit it to their country of origin, namely China.

Four people were brought before the investigating judge, with two of them being remanded in custody, it added.
