The Bundestag has lifted the immunity of AfD MP Lars Haise. According to Spiegel, the Stuttgart public prosecutor’s office has applied for a penal order against Haise on suspicion of copyright infringement.

The lifting of immunity is a formal procedure common in such cases. By agreeing to the prosecution, the Bundestag does not rule on the question of guilt.
