German President Resigns Over Loan Scandal


17.02.2012
German President Christian Wulff has resigned over claims he abused his position.
The country's opposition party had called on Mr Wulff to step down from the largely ceremonial role after state prosecutors asked parliament to end his legal immunity over accusations he accepted undue privilege.
Installed in the post in 2010, he has been criticised over the past two months in a scandal over money, power and political favours that could cost him the job.
