🇩🇪 Prosecutors conducted searches at the home and offices of the SPD candidate for Berlin’s governing mayor

A serious problem has emerged for the Social Democrats just before the Berlin election.

The Hanover Public Prosecutor’s Office is investigating SPD lead candidate Steffen Krach. Police <⁠a href="https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/regional/berlin/rbb-spd-spitzenkandidat-staatsanwaltschaft-ermittelt-gegen-krach-100.html">conducted searches at three locations: the politician’s home, the Berlin SPD headquarters, and official offices in Hanover.

According to German media reports, the case concerns suspicions of corruption in connection with public tender procedures. Krach himself categorically rejects the allegations and calls them unfounded.

For the SPD, it is difficult to imagine a worse time for this: The investigation concerns a man with whom the party wants to fight for power in the German capital.
