Berlin's Secretary of State for the Interior, Torsten Akmann, stops surprisingly.
"Without wanting to anticipate the decision of the Senate: It is true that Interior Senator Iris Spranger, in agreement with State Secretary Akmann, will propose putting him on temporary retirement," said a spokesman for the SPD-led interior administration on Monday.
Berlin – RBB had previously reported on the personnel.
Akmann, born in 1965, has been State Secretary for the Interior since December 2016.
