On September 28, 2021, two days after the federal election, investigators from the Cologne public prosecutor’s office found 214,800 euros and 2,400 US dollars in cash in a locker belonging to the Hamburg SPD politician Johannes Kahrs. This was first reported by the "Bild" newspaper and the NDR investigative journalist Oliver Schröm.
