Women say they were drugged at summer gathering of Germany's ruling party
CNN
Nine women have reported they were drugged by an unknown substance after attending the annual summer party of Germany's Social Democratic Party (SPD) -- whose Chancellor Olaf Scholz is a member -- last week.
According to a police report, a 21-year-old woman started to feel "unwell and dizzy" Wednesday evening after eating and drinking at the party. Being unable to remember the previous day's events, the woman had herself examined in hospital and filed a complaint with Berlin police.
Police told CNN on Monday that a toxic substance was found in the patient's blood explaining her symptoms and amnesia.
