reacted angrily to Fitschen's phone call to Bouffier, which they described as an attempt to influence the state prosecutor.
Perhaps Fitschen has not understood that in Germany nobody stays above the rule of law, Michael Meister, deputy parliamentary leader of Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) said.
"It is impertinent to influence the state prosecutor and this should not be tolerated," Andrea Nahles, General Secretary of the opposition Social Democratic Party (SPD) said.
Finance Minister of Rhineland Palatinate Carsten Kuehl said the allegations against Deutsche Bank are not "petty crimes or bureaucratic errors."
There are "strong suspicions that the state was defrauded millions of euros with criminal energy."
Therefore, it is also in the interest of Deutsche Bank to thoroughly investigate the allegations, he told a newspaper.
