AfD Politician Charged After Nazi Salute at Reichstag Sparks Outrage
Berlin prosecutors have charged a member of the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party with performing a Nazi salute in parliament. The incident allegedly occurred in June 2023, where the suspect greeted a colleague with a Hitler salute at the Reichstag building. The accused, identified by Bild as Matthias Moosdorf, denies the gesture and had his parliamentary immunity removed in October. Moosdorf, a former foreign policy spokesperson, has faced scrutiny due to his pro-Russia stance and holds an honorary professorship at a Moscow music academy.
