Berlin (dpa) - The head of the Union parliamentary group expects a statement from the CSU politician Georg Nüßlein, who has come under criticism in connection with corruption investigations.
He expects that Nüßlein will speak out in the next few days, said Union faction leader Ralph Brinkhaus (CDU) on Tuesday before online deliberations of the Union faction in the Bundestag.
One will wait for this.
The presumption of innocence applies to everyone.
"I think that some things will hopefully be cleared up," he said.
The group supported the prosecutor's investigation.
CSU regional group leader Alexander Dobrindt said it was appropriate that Nüßlein now had time to sort out the situation.
When this happened, Nüßlein would inform the regional group and the parliamentary group.
When that will be cannot be said yet.
Nüßlein is not in Berlin in the current plenary week.
Dobrindt spoke of allegations that were very surprising for everyone.
The presumption of innocence still applies.
Everyone has an interest in Nüßlein using the opportunity to sort things out.
The 51-year-old Nüßlein is being investigated, among other things, because of the initial suspicion of bribery and bribery of elected officials in connection with the purchase of corona respirators.
Nüßlein's lawyer announced on Friday that his client did not consider the allegations to be justified.
Nüßlein leaves his office as deputy chairman of the CDU / CSU parliamentary group due to the investigation against him.
The Public Prosecutor's Office in Munich had 13 objects searched in Germany and Liechtenstein on Thursday and seized evidence.
