WKStA prevails against Benko – Diepresse.com
René Benko is currently under pressure on two fronts. In addition to the house searches at Signa locations-on Friday there were searches in Tirol again in two addresses-the real estate entrepreneur must also accept a flap in a corruption procedure.
From the perspective of the real estate entrepreneur René, which has been in custody since January Benko It doesn’t go well at the moment. If Signa locations in Vienna, Innsbruck and Korneuburg from Soko Signa were only searched on Wednesday due to a search for legal assistance by German and Italian investigators (similar to in January), officials in Tyrol also moved out on Friday. It was about the suspicion (WKStA) according to the corruption prosecutor’s office « against another accused because of fraudulent crida » – this (the authority gave no name) is said to have helped Benko to « hide valuables ».
But the fraud and crida determination due to the Signa bankruptcy is not the only problem that Benko currently has. The Signa founder must also accept a setback in a corruption procedure running against him. These procedures run under the radar of the public, but is quite explosive. The WKSTA, which was almost 48 years old, is accused of abuse of office for bribery and determination. Benko wanted to get rid of some of these allegations by application for hiring. But that went wrong.
