Controversy and Arrest

On 14 September 2023, the police searched the Halemba's house and seized evidence. The background to the search was indications of the use of signs of unconstitutional and terrorist organizations as well as incitement to hatred.[3] Neighbours are said to have reported to the police after shouts of "Sieg Heil" were heard during celebrations at the home. Halemba described these accusations as "inaccurate, absurd and easily transparent". Halemba has claimed the house search was arbitrary, with the aim of harming him and the AfD, and alleges there is no incriminating material against him.[4]

On 27 October 2023, three days before the constituent session of the Bavarian State Parliament, an arrest warrant was issued against him. Since the investigations had already taken place before the constituent session of the state parliament, Halemba was not allowed political immunity afterwards. Halemba's defense lawyer, the former AfD local politician Dubravko Mandic, says he has applied for a detention review of the arrest warrant at the Würzburg District Court. Initially, the arrest warrant could not be executed because Halemba could not be found.[5] The Bavarian Ministry of the Interior told BR24 on 28 October 2023, that the search for Halemba was underway at full speed.[6] Halemba was arrested on the morning of 30 October 2023 in Kirchheim unter Teck on suspicion of incitement to hatred and the use of signs of anti-constitutional organizations.[7][8][9]
