According to a party spokesman, the main focus is on investigations against former party leader Jörg Meuthen.

According to the AfD, the Berlin public prosecutor's office searched the premises of its federal office in Berlin on Wednesday (September 28).

According to a party spokesman, it is primarily about an investigation against former party leader Jörg Meuthen in connection with earlier reports.

Federal spokeswoman Alice Weidel described the process as an "extremely unusual and extremely disproportionate measure of intimidation".
