Berlin, 21 June-Former German Social Democratic lawmaker Joerg Tauss who is a supporter of the MKO terror group, is facing an indictment on charges of possessing child pornography, press reports quoted a state prosecutor as saying Tuesday. <\/p>\n
"We intent to file charges against him," said state prosecutor Ruediger Rehrig in the southwestern city of Karlsruhe. <\/p>\n
"We are still working on the assumption that Tauss is guilty of possessing pornographic material and images," he added. <\/p>\n
A judicial probe was launched in March after pornographic material was discovered in the 56-year-old MP’s residence. <\/p>\n
For Tauss to be prosecuted, he would have to have his parliamentary immunity lifted. <\/p>\n
The decision which has to be made by the German Parliament, is expected before the September 27 general election. <\/p>\n
Tauss stepped down from all his SPD party posts as a result of the scandal, and has meanwhile joined the obscure Pirate Party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
