Investigators Probe Far-Right Lawmaker's China Ties
Reading
Germany's parliament made a decision on Thursday. They lifted the immunity of a lawmaker named Maximilian Krah. This means police can now search his home and offices legally.
The police searches are because of some problems. Mr. Krah is accused of having ties with China. He is also suspected of corruption and spying.
Mr. Krah says he did nothing wrong. He thinks the claims are just to hurt him politically. His party, AfD, stopped him from EU elections after a controversial statement.
Police looked for things in different places. They searched his office in Berlin and his home in Dresden. They also checked his old office in Brussels; no information on the result of the raids was immediately available.
Prosecutors are checking if Mr. Krah took money from China. This may be related to his old job. They will decide if they have enough proof to charge him for this.
