BERLIN (Reuters) - The German lower house of parliament's administration has asked the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) for clarification about a potentially illegal donation from a Swiss firm, as a key party leader acknowledged mistakes in the handling of the money.

Alexander Gauland, one of the party's leaders, told mass-circulation daily Bild that the treasurer of an AfD branch on Lake Constance, where his co-leader Alice Weidel ran for office last year, had "clearly acted improperly."
