The affair about the controversial special payments by the Greens from 2020 is expanding. Now the public prosecutor is investigating against the entire federal executive board.
The Berlin public prosecutor’s office has initiated investigations against the entire federal executive committee of the Greens because of controversial special corona payments. There is “the initial suspicion of infidelity,” said the spokesman for the Berlin Public Prosecutor’s Office, Martin Steltner, of the AFP news agency on Wednesday. The reason for this was “several ads” from private individuals. Steltner thus confirmed information from the magazine “Spiegel”.
The case is about a “corona bonus” that the federal executive board is said to have granted itself in 2020. According to “Spiegel”, the special payments amounted to 1,500 euros each.
Baerbock and Habeck part of the Green Board
Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock and Economics Minister Robert Habeck, both of whom are currently Green Party chairmen, are on the six-member federal executive board. Other members are the deputy federal chairmen Jamila Schäfer and Ricarda Lang, federal manager Michael Kellner and treasurer Marc Urbatsch.
Since everyone except Urbatsch is also a member of the Bundestag, Parliament had to be informed before the investigation could be initiated. According to “Spiegel”, this happened in December, and the public prosecutor’s office formally initiated the criminal investigation on January 6th.
