Germany's AfD party on Wednesday banned its leading candidate from appearing at EU election campaign events, after France's main far-right party announced a split with the Germans over a slew of scandals involving the politician.
Krah, in a weekend interview with Italian newspaper La Repubblica, said that someone who had been a member of the SS paramilitary force in Nazi Germany was "not automatically a criminal".
The AfD didn't just ban their candidate number 1 (Maximilian Krah) from campaign events but candidate number 2 (Petr Bystron) as well. He's been accused of accepting bribes from Russia. Meanwhile, one of Krah's staffers has been arrested for spying for the People's Republic of China.
