The Berlin prosecutor’s office is investigating the leadership of the German Green Party, including its co-chairs – Foreign Minister Annalena Berbock and Vice Chancellor, Economics Minister Robert Habek. As transfers AFP, this information was confirmed by the representative of Office of Public Prosecutor Martin Shteltner.

According to Spiegel, politicians are suspected of abuse in the payment of “coronavirus” allowances in 2020. According to the materials of the investigation, they illegally appointed themselves and received payments in the amount of 1.5 thousand euros each.

Six people were involved in the investigation: in addition to Burbock and Habek, these are other members of the party – Ricarda Lang, Jamila Schaefer, Michael Kellner and Mark Urbach. All but Urbach are members of the Bundestag and enjoy political immunity. Therefore, before starting the investigation, the prosecutor’s office notified the chairman of the Bundestag, Berbel Bas, about this. According to a spokesman for the prosecutor’s office, the reason for the investigation was complaints from “individuals” who referred to media reports from the past year.
