Berlin election: raid on Berlin's SPD top candidate Krach's home
The public prosecutor's office in Hanover is investigating Berlin's SPD top candidate Steffen Krach on suspicion of bribery. The case is reportedly related to a matter in the healthcare sector.
Steffen Krach, the SPD's top candidate in Berlin, is under investigation for suspected bribery. Investigators searched his home, the SPD's state party headquarters, and office spaces in Hannover just days before the Berlin House of Representatives election. Krach denies the allegations, calling them "absolutely baseless," and has stated his willingness to cooperate with the police and prosecutor's office.
The investigation reportedly concerns a donation Krach received from a healthcare provider in Hannover, in exchange for which he allegedly supported the provider in a bidding process.
