It is unclear if it was a business trip. When it became clear that it was a medical emergency, the pilot is said to have decided to make an unscheduled landing in the Irish town of Shannon. But any help for the politician came too late.
Strenz was recently under suspicion of corruption
In early 2020 there were records by the CDU politician and a former CSU MP Eduard Lintner regarding the flow of money from authoritarian ruled Azerbaijan. At the time, the Frankfurt prosecutor spoke of some four million euros that had flowed through British mailbox companies and Baltic accounts between 2008 and 2016. The investigation was conducted for bribery and money laundering. During the search in January 2020, 16 apartments and business premises in Berlin, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Bavaria and Belgium were inspected, including a member of the Bundestag.
Strenz had been a member of the Bundestag since 2009. In the 2009, 2013 and 2017 elections, he won one of six direct terms in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. From 2002 to 2006 and from 2007 to 2009 he was a member of the state parliament in the Northeast. In the Bundestag he last served on the Defense Committee, among other things. In addition to her tenure, she continued to work as a consultant.
Strenz remained a member of the Bundestag despite allegations of corruption, but did not want to run in the upcoming September elections.
