Overview
- Multiple media outlets reported on Thursday that the Amtsgericht Chemnitz has issued an arrest warrant tied to unpaid process costs from Krah's failed legal bid against Jan Böhmermann.
- The enforcement step follows reports that Krah paid roughly €5,000 earlier this year but left a remaining balance of about €296.26 that a court officer sought to collect.
- A court bailiff scheduled a sworn assets hearing for mid‑July that Krah did not attend, and the bailiff then applied to the court for a warrant to compel compliance.
- Krah says he already paid in January and that his lawyer will review the claim, while Böhmermann's lawyer has urged that a Bundestag member must not evade legal obligations.
- The court is now weighing whether to request revocation of Krah's parliamentary immunity to allow enforcement, a step that would raise legal and political questions given Krah's other ongoing investigations.
