Bundestag: Parlament hebt Immunität von SPD-Abgeordnetem Ahmetovic auf

The Bundestag has removed the immunity of SPD member of parliament Adis Ahmetovic. The German Press Agency learned from the Bundestag administration that the permission is granted for judicial investigations. The investigations are linked to those of the State Prosecutor's office in Hannover against Berlin SPD candidate Steffen Krach.

Krach was President of the Region Hannover before he ran for office. The case involves the sale of a clinic in the town of Lehrte. Another person being investigated is former SPD faction leader in the Lower Saxony state parliament, Stefan Politze, who resigned from his position last week. Ahmetovic's lawyer told the NDR that the lawmaker had done nothing wrong and was cooperating with the State Prosecutor's office.

The accusations concern "aiding in distortion of competition regarding the sale of the clinic land in Lehrte," according to the "Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung." Ahmetovic is also the SPD leader in Hanover.
