Ex-AfD politician Jörg Meuthen loses immunity in the EU Parliament.
Strasbourg – The EU Parliament has voted to withdraw the immunity of former AfD chairman Jörg Meuthen.
The Berlin public prosecutor's office had applied for Meuthen's immunity to be lifted "in order to initiate criminal proceedings," said the report, which MPs voted for in Strasbourg on Tuesday.
The background is the AfD donation affair, in which a Swiss PR company supported Meuthen in the 2016 state election campaign in Baden-Württemberg.
