Berlin: Berliner SPD-Kandidat Krach weist Vorwürfe erneut zurück
Der SPD‑Spitzenkandidat für die Abgeordnetenhauswahl steht im Visier von Ermittlungen der Staatsanwaltschaft Hannover. Es gibt mehr Details – und der Politiker bekräftigt seine Linie.
Berlin's SPD candidate Steffen Krach has firmly denied allegations against him, stating on the late evening of November 8, "I categorically reject them, they are not valid." Krach expressed confidence that the ungrounded accusations will result from the investigation's outcome. The prosecutor's office in Hannover had previously publicly disclosed the reasons for their investigation into Krach, which revolve around the initial suspicion of benefitting from two cases.
Additionally, they are investigating Krach for an initial suspicion of restrictive practices in tenders, in conjunction with a breach of business secrets and the violation of confidentiality obligations under the Limited Liability Company Act. Krach informed his legal counsel that the Hannover prosecutor's office informed him that only an investigation concerning him would be conducted in that jurisdiction.
The investigation pertains to two issues: the first is a donation to the SPD Land Association Berlin, which was allegedly requested of him on two occasions in connection with a governmental procedure.
