Two dubious donations to the AfD to raise questions. Especially the identity of the donor is still unknown. DW-searches indicate that it could be two donations of the same Person.
Two large donations to the AfD in the past days, both donations adopted by the regional Association lake Constance – the donors, however, are unknown. This is not the only Parallel. Because some suggests that the donations might come from the same source. Since the addressee of the allocation of Money: the AfD Constance.
On lake Constance, Alice rye, the Co-chair of the AfD group in the Bundestag, their constituency. The donations from Switzerland had the words “donation campaign ryegrass”. But Alice rye knew nothing about the donations or the donors knew. This is understandable, because the large donation from Switzerland, was transferred in several instalments of around 9000 euros – so just under the threshold at which the donor and the donation made public. However, the subject and origin account are at the time of each donation. According to the German party law, this may be a indication that the cash inflows should be veiled. In addition, the donation from Switzerland. The country is not a member of the EU, non-EU countries must adopt German parties, with few exceptions, no money. But it took a year and a half, until the AfD has transferred the amount back. Also, why is the Prosecutor for the task is interested in, because with the money the AfD dial-fight – bills for lawyers and Facebook-Likes paid.
A further donation from Belgium
On Wednesday night the right-wing populist party, announced in Berlin that the rye-circle of the Association of lake Constance have also received from Belgium a large donation. In this case, it comes to 150,000 euros. The amount came allegedly from a Belgian or a Dutch Foundation, but had not been finally accepted and returned. The donation from Belgium first of all, Süddeutsche Zeitung and the broadcasters NDR and WDR reported. Subsequently, the Federal office of the AfD published a statement.
The DW has tried to block the path of the Belgian donation to trace. And discovered amazing Parallels to the donation from Switzerland. Since the time between the repayment of the donation from Switzerland in February 2018 and the receipt of the donation from Belgium in April 2018.
Two donations – a source?
That alone must mean nothing, however, further Parallels are amazing: The Belgian donation is likely to have come from the Netherlands, because of the AfD-called donor “STICHTING both left and right wing EUROPE” (Foundation and identity of Europe) is based in the Netherlands. Their website is relatively know little about the Foundation, except that your seat is in a suburb of The Hague. However, there is a Link to a similar English side, for which, in turn, the Dutch company AMR consiultants B. V. in Rotterdam is responsible – whose managing Director is Berkhout, according to the hand commercial register entry of Charles. This Charles Berkhout has declared to German journalists of the RND (editors network Germany / Madsack group), to know nothing of a donation to the AfD. However, his brother, Floris Berkhout, Manager of the above-mentioned Foundation and, as such, he explained to the Dutch newspaper “Financieele Dagblad”, the donation to the AfD made. The Foundation has served, is cited Berkhout, to make a “vote against unlimited immigration to Europe” with an audible click.
