The Berlin city prosecutor is looking at an investigation of the two top Green Party members (Habeck - Baerbock).
The charge? Well....at some point in 2020, a Covid-bonus was paid out to the top six members of the Green Party, from the party 'cash'. Amount? A shocking 1,500 Euro ($1,700 roughly).....each.
The problem is....within the party....there was no mechanism written in code/by-laws....to allow a bonus. If they'd started out and created a mechanism first....then the Covid-bonus would be legal.
Who reported this? Well....the party has occasional audits (mandated by party rules) and they reported it to the authorities.
What'll likely happen? I'd take a guess that rather than get this into a judge's court.....the six will repay the bonus. As for Baerbock and Habeck being 'kidded' about the bad-boy status? I'm guessing each will admit they spent the cash on fancy new clothing for their new jobs.
