The political price had already been paid during the election campaign and the money had long since been repaid. “Now the issue will finally be clarified legally.”
Nouripour described the last federal election campaign as “new territory for the party”. Mistakes happened, even with an office that could not keep up with the speed at which tasks and membership numbers had grown. “But now it’s time to deal with it.
