Maíra Martini, CEO of Transparency International, said: “Today’s verdict shows that justice is possible, even in complex transnational corruption cases. Authorities in other countries linked to the Azerbaijani Laundromat scheme should follow Germany’s example and take action to ensure that those who took bribes and helped whitewash repression do not escape scrutiny.

Great news! 🔵 Former German Bundestag member Eduard Lintner has been convicted in the #AzerbaijaniLaundromat case.

We welcome this historic step in holding a European politician accountable for their role in this massive corruption scheme.
