Multiple AfD politicians, including Petr Bystron and Hannes Gnauck, are facing investigations and allegations of bribery and money laundering. Police searches were conducted in connection with accusations of receiving funds from Russian officials, prompting the lifting of immunity by the German Parliament.

The AfD party denies the claims and criticizes the actions, pointing to potential foreign interference as elections approach. These legal actions raise concerns about the involvement of far-right politicians in illicit financial activities and potential breach of constitutional loyalty.
