Ermittlungen: Durchsuchung bei Mitarbeiter von AfD-Spitzenkandidatin
Wenige Tage vor der Wahl in Berlin rückt die Polizei bei einem AfD-Mitarbeiter an. Es geht um illegale Waffen. Die werden nicht gefunden – aber andere Sachen.
Five days before the election for Berlin's parliamentary building, a search was conducted at the apartment of a staff member of AfD leading candidate Kristin Brinker. According to the Berlin State Attorney's office, there is suspicion of violations of the Explosives Act and the Weapons Act. A warrant for the search was issued by the police on September 15 in Berlin-Lichterfelde, a spokesperson for the State Attorney's office confirmed.
Prior to this, "Bild" and "B.Z." reported the story. The State Attorney's office found no evidence supporting the accusations, but did seize other items, known as "random finds," which are now being subjected to forensic examination before assessing their legal relevance. News reports indicate that the investigators found drugs and Nazi memorabilia at the 48-year-old employee.
AfD spokesperson Ronald Gläser referred to the case as a "private matter," stating that they are awaiting the investigation. "Bild" newspaper quoted Brinker, who said, "I had never had any reason to believe he was of that nature. He is simply a collector."
