German parliament lifts immunity of a prominent far-right lawmaker and police search his home - feddit.org

BERLIN (AP) — Germany’s parliament on Thursday lifted the immunity of a prominent far-right lawmaker with the Alternative for Germany party, after which authorities searched his home and offices following a court order.

Why did he have “immunity” in the first place? Why does anyone get immunity while normal citizens do not

The idea is that the government can not prosecute other members of parliament that the ruling party might not like.

You need to sufficient evidence and a majority must vote to remove immunity.

Its a result of the faschos, of course.

Greece has a similar law in place. It is one of the main reasons why eventually corruption permeated greece.
