Walther Leisler Kiep, former treasurer of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), walks past reporters as he leaves Augsburg's Prosecutor's office November 17. Prosecutors questioned Kiep about a one-million-mark ($520,000) campaign donation that raised suspicion of tax evasion. The chief state prosecutor in the Bavarian town of Augsburg said Kiep had been cooperative and his testimony would lead to further inquiries, although these would not be targeted at the party.
