Now the prosecution is allowed to enforce a search and Seizure warrant against Gauland. It is a matter of the accusation of tax evasion, said a spokeswoman for the authority on Thursday. According to the "Potsdam New messages" at present, the house Gaulands in Potsdam searched.

The request goes to a special parliamentary Committee, whose recommendation, the other members of the Bundestag, to comply with the rule.

Because party donations from Switzerland, but illegal, should have paid the pharmaceutical company, the money on German straw men and women to Weidels district Association, so the accusation. Weidels immunity has already been lifted.
