The party official clarified that he is unaware of the reasons behind the decision and stated that he is prepared to fully cooperate with the investigation. The focus of the investigation, conducted by the Hannover state prosecutor's office, is currently unknown. Politze claimed he has no grounds to accuse either the Berlin SPD faction head Steffen Krach or himself of any wrongdoing.",
  "summary": "Die Immunität des niedersächsischen SPD-Fraktionschefs wurde aufgehoben, weil Ermittler Zusammenhänge mit dem Berliner SPD-Chef Stefan Krach untersuchen. Beide weisen die Vorwürfe zurück.",
