Maximilian Krah (born 28 January 1977) is a German lawyer and politician.[3][4] He is serving as a member of the European Parliament without a delegation or faction being a member of far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD).[5]
In April 2024, Krah gained international attention when the German Prosecutor General arrested his assistant, suspected of spying for China by passing on information about negotiations and decisions in the European Parliament to China's intelligence service.[6][7][8] This and comments Krah made about the Nazi era in a subsequent media interview were seen by observers as having triggered a decision by the European Parliamentarian group Identity and Democracy to exclude the AfD from membership on 23 May 2024.[9]
