1999 CDU contributions scandal



In late 1999, it was discovered that the German Christian Democratic Union (CDU) political party had accepted illegal donations while under the control of Chancellor Helmut Kohl in the 1990s. This issue had been ongoing since 1995, but little progress had been made until the rival SPD initiated its own investigation in October 1999.
