A German conservative MP, Georg Nüsslein, is being investigated on suspicion of large-scale bribe-taking linked to the supply of Covid face masks. He has called the allegations “baseless”.
He is in the Bavarian CSU – a party allied to Chancellor Angela Merkel, but has now lost his parliamentary immunity. Investigators searched his Bundestag office and 12 properties in Germany and Liechtenstein linked to him.
Prosecutors suspect that he received large sums after lobbying the government on behalf of a supplier of medical masks. The money was not declared to the tax authorities, it is alleged.
