The European Parliament lifted the immunity of AfD MP Gunnar Beck on Thursday.
Brussels
- At the request of the Düsseldorf public prosecutor's office, the EU
Parliament revoked Beck's immunity. Beck is being investigated for the
theft of low-value items, intentional bodily harm and resisting law
enforcement officers. Beck described the allegations as unfounded.
The
background is an investigation into an incident on October 29, 2022, in
which Beck “took samples of tester products that were displayed for
customers in a department store in Neuss, allegedly with the intention
of removing them without paying for them. “He did not comply with the
request of law enforcement officers who intervened not to resist.
