Streit mit Böhmermann: Gericht erlässt Haftbefehl gegen AfD-Politiker Krah
Maximilian Krah soll ausstehende Prozesskosten begleichen. Ein Kleinbetrag, sagt er. Doch die Folgen können gravierend sein. Hintergrund ist ein Streit mit Jan Böhmermann.
Chemnitz. The Chemnitz Regional Court has issued a warrant for the arrest of AfD Bundestag representative Maximilian Krah. According to a court spokesperson, a review is currently underway to determine whether the removal of Krah's parliamentary immunity, required for enforcement, will be requested. Earlier, "Spiegel" reported on the matter, stating that the warrant stems from a legal dispute Krah had with satirist Jan Böhmermann over Böhmermann's comments in a podcast.
Krah had lost a humorous Champagne dispute with television moderator Jörg Hildebrandt. The Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court had dismissed Krah's application to refrain from giving an interview, but now, due to ongoing questions about the costs of the trial, the Chemnitz Regional Court has issued the warrant. Krah informed the Deutsche Presse-Agentur that he had already paid his share of the legal costs in January and is now seeking clarification from his attorney.
He stated that he would pay a small additional amount and reserves the right to seek reimbursement. Krah described Böhmermann as a "naif" and indicated that reimbursement would be contingent upon verification.
