The leader of a key workers' lobbying group has resigned after it was revealed he was being investigated for child porn allegations.
Georg Hupfauer, former head of the 120,000-member strong Katholischer Arbeiter-Bewegung (KAB), quit on Wednesday following press reports he was suspected of possessing child porn.
"I'm stepping down from my position to avoid further damage to the KAB," Hupfauer, who is married with two grown-up children, told Bild newspaper.
The paper said state prosecutors in Aachen, North-Rhine Westphalia, had been investigating Hupfauer since he first came to their attention in March 2013.
Police searched his home in Alsdorf, near Aachen, and confiscated various data storage devices including computer hard drives and USB sticks. Full story...
