Court Issues Arrest Warrant for AfD Politician Maximilian Krah
- The Amtsgericht Chemnitz issued an arrest warrant against AfD Bundestag member Maximilian Krah following a legal dispute with satirist Jan Böhmermann about comments made in Böhmermann's podcast.
- Krah sued Böhmermann after being mentioned in the podcast as having ordered 200 champagne bottles at Oktoberfest, which Krah argued affected his personal rights.
- Krah lost the case partly because Böhmermann later clarified that only about 50 bottles were ordered.
- Böhmermann's lawyer, Sebastian Gorski, emphasized that Germany is a rule-of-law country and that a Bundestag member must meet legal obligations.
