Overview
- The Leipzig Administrative Court on December 10, 2025, confirmed the Landtag presidency’s penalty against Jörg Dornau (case 1 K 2748/24).
- Dornau had argued he was not required to report his stake and director position, but the court rejected this and cited the Saxon Members of Parliament Act.
- The court found he failed to report the interests for about three and a half years and noted he only filed notices after proceedings began.
- Judges pointed to the agricultural firm’s scale, estimated at roughly 1,500 hectares, in assessing the seriousness of the violation.
- Dornau may appeal to the Saxon Higher Administrative Court in Bautzen, and prosecutors had earlier declined to open a criminal case related to the Belarus operation, which the AfD publicly acknowledged.
