Raid on CSU member of parliament
Investigators have searched the rooms of the CDU/CSU vice faction leader Nüßlein. It is about alleged corruption in the procurement of protective masks.
Investigators have searched offices in connection with Union vice faction leader Georg Nüßlein on suspicion of bribery. The Munich Prosecutor General's Office confirmed on Thursday that a total of 13 objects were searched for evidence. It goes around the initial suspicion of the bribe and bribery of mandate carriers.
Accordingly, the prosecutor's office is investigating two defendants in connection with the purchase of Corona respirators.
The Bundestag had previously unanimously lifted Nüßlein's immunity, thus clearing the way for the searches. According to the broadcasters RTL and n-tv, the matter concerns possible irregularities in the procurement of hundreds of thousands of protective masks.
Nüßlein is the health expert of the CSU, but also responsible for climate protection. The politician himself did not initially respond to a Reuters inquiry.
