Georg Lintner

Georg Lintner is a former German politician who served as a Parliamentary State Secretary during Helmut Kohl's administration and was a member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) until 2010. After leaving the Bundestag, he worked as a lobbyist for Azerbaijan, where he is currently facing allegations of corruption, involving millions of euros funneled through foreign shell companies to influence German lawmakers. Lintner has publicly defended his actions as typical lobbying, claiming he did not conceal the source of the funds.
