A senior Left Party politician in Berlin is now under criminal investigation over a widening rape cover-up scandal that has already rocked the capital.
Prosecutors have opened proceedings against Sarah Nagel, Neukölln’s youth councillor, on suspicion of obstruction of justice.
The probe follows earlier revelations that a state-run youth club in the district failed to report the gang rape of a 16-year-old girl—reportedly out of concern about “stigmatizing migrants.”
