Bavarian prosecutors are investigating suspected money-laundering activities by a far-right politician. The German parliament says it has lifted the political immunity of the AfD member Petr Bystron.

The Munich Public Prosecutor’s Office on Thursday said it was investigating money laundering activities by a far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) lawmaker.

Separately, officials for Germany’s lower house of parliament, the Bundestag, said the legislature had lifted the parliamentary immunity of AfD member Petr Bystron.

Bystron, who is the second candidate on his party’s election ticket for the 2024 European elections, is under scrutiny for alleged connections with pro-Russian networks.

    Well…

    The other parties in Germany are not less corrupt, they just take money from German lobbyists and are a lot smarter about it.

    The real irony is that the self proclaimed patriots are literally traitors.

      The real irony is that the self proclaimed patriots are literally traitors.

      The parallels are staggering.
