BERLIN (Reuters) - Officials in charge of Germany's major security authorities must be above all suspicion, Finance Minister Olaf Scholz said on Thursday, levelling thinly veiled criticism at domestic intelligence chief Hans-Georg Maassen.
Many in Scholz's Social Democrat (SPD) party want Maassen to be sacked after he questioned the authenticity of video footage showing right extremists chasing immigrants through a city's streets in an interview that caused widespread consternation.
