Your Alaska LinkGerman far-right MP detained over alleged Belarus sanctions breach
German police detained a regional lawmaker of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) in a state parliament Wednesday for questioning about a suspected breach of EU export sanctions on Belarus.
A criminal investigation is under way against AfD politician Dornau in Saxony.
The public prosecutor's office in Leipzig is investigating the AfD member of parliament Jörg Dornau. He is said to have circumvented an export ban to Belarus and provided false information.
It is about a possible violation of the Foreign Trade Act. Customs inspectors search the residence and business premises of the deputy. The Saxon parliament cancels the immunity of Dornau.
The Saxon AfD deputy Dornau is the head of an agricultural enterprise in Belarus. In August 2022 he has a telehandler delivered, but as a target country he states Kazakhstan. There are sanctions against Belarus, which is why the judiciary suspects and takes action.
