Newly elected regional lawmaker for a far-right party arrested in Germany October 30, 2023 at 12:10AM

A lawmaker from the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, Daniel Halemba, has been arrested on suspicion of incitement and using symbols of unconstitutional organizations. Halemba, a member of a fraternity that was raided in September on suspicion of having Nazi symbols, denies the allegations. The AfD party has seen significant gains in recent state elections, finishing third in Bavaria with 14.6% of the vote. The newly elected Bavarian state legislature is set to hold its first session on Monday.
