The General Prosecutor's Office in Dresden has launched an investigation into suspected corruption and money laundering involving AfD politician Maximilian Krah, reportedly linked to Chinese payments. With the aim of lifting his parliamentary immunity, the authority informed the German Press Agency (dpa) of the ongoing investigation.
Initiating the investigation last Thursday, the General Prosecutor's Office stated that it will examine whether there's enough evidence to bring charges or end the investigation. The presumption of innocence still applies to Krah.
In response, the AfD parliamentarian dismissed the allegations as absurd and politically motivated. He explained that the accusations merely stem from routine lawyer-client invoicing. "I have not committed any criminal offense; this is solely about damaging my reputation," Krah stated.
Meanwhile, there's an ongoing preliminary investigation into potential Russian payments, but the General Prosecutor's Office clarified that it is unrelated to this ongoing probe into Chinese payments. The Southern German newspaper, Süddeutsche Zeitung, initially reported the news.
