The German state of Bavaria's highest court of administration ruled on Wednesday that the state's domestic intelligence agency (or Verfassungsschutz in German) can continue to surveil the Alternative for Germany (AfD) political party.
The AfD had sought an injunction forbidding the surveillance, losing in lower courts and taking it to the last chance to appeal at the state level.
What else do we know about the ruling?
The Munich court said Wednesday's decision was no longer subject to appeal.
The plan to monitor the party had first been announced in 2022 and the initial legal challenge was dismissed in 2024.
