Maximilian Krah

Maximilian Eugen Krah (born 28 January 1977) is a German lawyer and politician for right-wing populist Alternative for Germany (AfD). He has served as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) from 2019 until March 2025 when he became a member of the German parliament.

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. This and comments Krah made about the Nazi era in a subsequent media interview were seen by observers as having triggered the decision by the European parliamentarian group Identity and Democracy (ID) to exclude the AfD from membership on 23 May 2024. Since then, Krah has sat with the non-attached members. Provided by Wikipedia
