Illegal donations, Nazi slogans and concerns about extremism: this is in hacked AfD emails

A massive data breach involving the AfD has revealed illegal donations and internal concerns about extremism. The leaked emails, totaling 281 gigabytes, include communications from party leader Alice Weidel, who faces scrutiny over a 2017 illegal donation from a Swiss pharmaceutical company. Despite her claims of ignorance, evidence suggests she was aware of the donations. The emails also show Weidel's worries about the party's extremist ties and internal conflicts regarding radical members. The hack has reignited discussions about a potential ban on the AfD, as the leaked information could serve as evidence of the party's awareness of extremism. An anonymous American group is behind the hack, aiming to expose corruption within the party.
