The former assistant deputy of the Bundestag from the Christian Democratic Union (HDS) Christian Hirte Konstantin Khramov, accused of cooperation with the Russian special services, said in a conversation with The Insider that he plans to appeal to law enforcement agencies to dispel the public suspicions.
He suggested that the text in Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ), whose hero he became, could appear due to the internal struggle in the ranks of the CDU:
“Now there is the formation of the government, committees and so on ... There were no questions from the German law enforcement agencies to me for this entire period. And I (in the Bundestag) worked there for more than one month. All my activities were on the surface, I did not hide anything. I did not think to appeal to law enforcement agencies preventively. It is possible that I will do this to remove all these speculations.
Given the subject, and the article does not indicate which bodies [confirmed the publication with the special services] ... such issues are dealt with by the Bundesamt Für Verfassungsschutz, BFV) service. This service is not mentioned in the article. From this I can make an unambiguous conclusion that this service did not transfer any data, otherwise the author of the article would certainly indicate it. Plus, there was no comments from the German foreign intelligence service (Bundesnachrichtendienst, BND), the article also indicates. It is better to ask the author what service he had in mind. ”
Khrapov in a conversation with The Insider confirmed that he was familiar with the personal referent of Vladislav Surkov Mikhail Mamonov, who worked in the administration of the President of Russia and at different times was both the deputy of its leader and the assistant to Vladimir Putin:
“We had communication, after the start of the invasion, we quarreled very much, and then I was still in Moscow. We have any communication with him [now] There is not. These were not working trips. He flew like a private face, I flew as a private face. This was not in any way connected with his activity or mine. ”
He confirmed that he started the Telegram channel, where he published an appeal about the current situation, which journalists drew attention to.
Earlier it became known that the deputy of the Bundestag from the Christian Democratic Union (CDS) Christian Hirte hired Konstantin Khrapov, and then fired him, since the German security authorities allegedly discovered Khrapov’s connections with the FSB and organizations related to the Russian authorities.
