German MEP Maximilian Krah Accused of Spying and Corruption

A scandal involving far-right German MEP Maximilian Krah has erupted, with allegations of spying and corruption surfacing

Krah, a member of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, has been accused of passing on sensitive information to Russian intelligence services

The allegations stem from a raid on Krah's office in the European Parliament in Brussels. During the raid, investigators reportedly seized documents and electronic devices containing evidence of Krah's alleged activities.

Krah has denied the allegations, calling them "politically motivated." However, the evidence against him appears to be mounting.

EU lawmakers call for Krah's expulsion

In the wake of the allegations, EU lawmakers have called for Krah's expulsion from the European Parliament. A resolution condemning Krah's alleged actions and calling for his expulsion was passed by the Parliament's Committee on Legal Affairs on April 24, 2024.

The resolution is expected to be put to a vote by the full Parliament in the coming weeks. If passed, it would mark the first time that an MEP has been expelled from the Parliament for spying or corruption.

Conclusion

The scandal surrounding Maximilian Krah is a serious blow to the reputation of the European Parliament. If the allegations against him are proven true, it would mark a major breach of trust and a threat to the security of the EU. The Parliament must now act swiftly to investigate the allegations and take appropriate action, including the expulsion of Krah if he is found to be guilty.
