German Lawmaker Faces Arrest Warrant | Europe News

A German lawmaker is now facing arrest over a champagne scandal that started with a comedian’s podcast joke — and it’s spiraled into legal chaos. Jan Böhmermann joked about Krah allegedly ordering thousands of bottles for Oktoberfest, which Krah denied but the court later deemed plausible. Krah sued Böhmermann, lost the case in December, and now owes less than 300 euros in legal fees — which he hasn’t paid. When he missed an asset disclosure appointment, a bailiff sought an arrest warrant. Krah claims ignorance, but detention would require lifting his parliamentary immunity — a move that’s still pending. This isn’t the first time Böhmermann’s satire caused diplomatic ripples — and both sides remain silent as the court stays quiet under privacy rules.
