Germany's parliament lifted the immunity of far-right lawmaker Maximilian Krah, allowing authorities to search his home and offices amid allegations of corruption and ties to China. Krah, a member of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, previously faced scrutiny for controversial statements and was banned from EU elections. The searches were ordered by the Dresden Higher Regional Court as part of a preliminary investigation into bribery and money laundering related to alleged Chinese payments. AfD leaders expressed concern over the situation and called for a swift investigation.
