At least 28 of 48 far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party members investigated have been sentenced in court, yet remain in political office due to legal limitations. The right to stand for or be elected only expires for serious crimes like murder.
Correctiv found no similar behavior in politicians from other German parties. AfD member Martin Reichardt dismissed their findings as 'defamation' after being investigated for criticizing President Steinmeier.
