Berlin SPD candidate Krach faces donation-for-favor allegations as protocol surfaces

A 24-page supervisory board protocol reveals Steffen Krach, Berlin SPD's top candidate, allegedly lobbied behind the scenes to advance a real estate project for an entrepreneur in exchange for a donation. The document contradicts Krach's public stance, escalating a political scandal weeks before the election. The authenticity and full context of the protocol remain unverified, but the leak is likely to intensify scrutiny and damage his campaign.
