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.
Isn’t that the guy who complained to the Russians about receiving his bribe in 200€ bills?
Yes.
Well count me interested. Please do elaborate?
He received bribes in 200€ bills and then complained that it’s really hard to actually pay stuff with it because hardly anyone ever uses anything larger than 100€ bills and it will draw attention (and suspicion).
Thank you!
I could only find a German source but it seems to be him.
Thanks, I speak a bit of German so that was great.

United States could take a lesson or few, here. Sorry, I know this isn’t about that and am not trying to hijack the thread; I just can’t help but notice glaring differences when both major parties are dumpster fires.
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 parallels are staggering.
This is the best summary I could come up with:

Separately, officials for Germany’s lower house of parliament, the Bundestag, said the legislature had lifted the parliamentary immunity of AfD member Petr Bystron.
These included an office in Berlin, in the Bavarian districts of Munich, Erding and Deggendorf, and on the Spanish island of Mallorca.
The search teams aim was to seize documents and data carriers in a probe for evidence, the spokesman said.
German police arrested Krah’s former aide Jian G. in April on suspicion of spying.
“So far no proof has been presented for the allegations raised against Mr. Bystron weeks ago,” AfD leaders Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla said on Thursday in a joint statement.
