Ex-Senator Peter Kurth Under Fire for Financing Right-Wing Extremist Project

Peter Kurth, former CDU senator, denies knowledge of the extremist ties of the group he financially supported.

Peter Kurth, former Berlin finance senator, confirmed transferring €100,000 to Kevin Richter, linked to the 'Sächsische Separatisten'.
The funds were used to purchase a property in Grimma, intended as a meeting place for the extremist group.
Kurth claims he was unaware of the group's terrorist activities, stating the loan was for housing and community engagement.
The 'Sächsische Separatisten' are accused of planning violent actions and have been linked to paramilitary training.
Eight members of the group have been arrested, with several being AfD local politicians, and are facing charges of terrorism.
