Czech police officers searching Prague apartment of AfD’s Bystroň

Czech police officers are searching the Prague apartment of Czech-born German politician Petr Bystroň from the far-right Alternative for Germany, on the basis of a request from their German colleagues, the daily Denik N reported on Thursday.

The 51-year old MP is suspected of accepting bribes from the Russian influence network Voice of Europe, a claim he has repeatedly denied. According to the DPA agency, police in Germany have previously raided the MP’s properties, including his office.
