Germany's former head of domestic intelligence, Hans-Georg Maaßen, is being monitored by the country's security agency for suspected right-wing extremism. Maaßen, who previously protected Germany against violent and extremist threats, is now under investigation by the agency he once led. He has been accused of becoming a right-wing extremist and is being surveilled after founding a new political party. The agency's scrutiny comes after Maaßen compared migrants to cancer, praised Putin's Russia as a 'Christian country,' and accused the media of propagating 'eliminatory racism against whites.' Additionally, an aide to a member of the German Bundestag from the far-right AfD party has been revealed as an agent of Russian intelligence, leading to increased scrutiny on the party's ties to Russia.
