Germany's AfD says excludes top candidate from party's EU delegation

The top candidate for Germany's far-right AfD at the EU polls will be excluded from the party's delegation at the European Parliament due to a string of scandals, the party said on Monday.

Maximilian Krah has been accused of having suspicious links to Russia and China, while comments that he made minimizing the crimes of the Nazis' notorious SS also prompted the AfD's expulsion from the far-right group within the European Parliament.
