Raids in two federal states and a returned donation – what is currently known about the investigations into SPD politician Steffen Krach?
The public prosecutor's office in Hannover is investigating Steffen Krach, the SPD's top candidate for the Berlin state election on September 20. The investigation is on suspicion of accepting benefits in two cases and making anti-competitive agreements in connection with breaches of business secrecy and confidentiality obligations.
