AfD Politician's Interview Sparks Concerns, No Criminal Relevance Found
The Lippische Landes-Zeitung recently published an interview with AfD local politician Jirka Möller, sparking concerns. However, investigations found no criminal relevance or hate speech in his statements.
The newspaper marked the interview with 'fact checks' and struck certain passages, forwarding them to authorities for review. The state protection department in Bielefeld initially checked for any suspicion but found none. Möller himself stated he had not made any unconstitutional statements. The public prosecutor's office in Detmold confirmed this, announcing no investigations would be initiated against Möller. The content of the conversation remains unclear, but it did not violate any criminal provision or meet the criteria for hate speech.
The Lippische Landes-Zeitung's guidelines for dealing with AfD candidates were followed, ensuring transparency and accountability. Despite initial concerns, investigations found no criminal relevance or hate speech in Möller's interview statements.
