West German federal prosecutors announced a second investigation of Chancellor Helmut Kohl on suspicion that he gave false testimony to a parliamentary inquiry into charges of political donations from the giant Flick industrial conglomerate. Kohl is already under investigation by state prosecutors in Koblenz over possible false testimony to a separate probe in Mainz. The inquiries represent the first time that a West German chancellor has been investigated while still in office.
