Who's "they"? The afd related person sitting most closely to the Afd leadership was "let go" from his position in response to the revelations. And all of them claim they were there in private capacity.

Without further evidence that is hardly worth all that much in front of a court.

Yeah of course he was let go, because of the media coverage. Otherwise nothing wouldn't have happened.

They are not that dumb to attend something like this in person. There were other elected AfD Officials present Also "private capacity" is a lame excuse that doesn't fool nobody

Yes, they aren't dumb enough to attend it in person precisely to avoid it falling back on them in a court of law. That's my whole point. Everybody with half a brain can still see what's going on of course.
