Gunnar Beck, a member of the European Parliament for the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, has been fined 9200 euros for alleged title misuse. The charges stem from Beck's use of the title "professor" in connection with his academic credentials.
Beck, who holds a doctorate in law, has long been an outspoken critic of the European Union and its institutions. He has also made controversial statements about immigration and other social issues.
The fine against Beck was imposed by the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, where he resides. The decision was based on the finding that Beck had not obtained the necessary authorization to use the title "professor" from the state's Ministry of Culture.
Beck has denied any wrongdoing, arguing that he had "legally earned" the title of professor during his time as a lecturer at the University of London. However, the state's decision has been upheld by the administrative court of Münster.
The scandal has sparked a debate about the use of titles in Germany, as well as the role and responsibilities of elected officials. It has also raised questions about the legitimacy of Beck's political credentials.
