Public Prosecutor's Office Trient investigated Signa Pleitier René Benko!

The Tyrolean entrepreneur René Benko, once a magnificent multimillionaire and current pleier, sees serious allegations. The Trento public prosecutor issued an arrest warrant against him on Tuesday and calls him the "leader of a mafia -like criminal association". This group is said to have been founded in order to achieve illegal profits by obtaining concessions and permits, such as Oe24. .

But Benko does not have to be afraid of a arrest. The Austrian authorities cannot implement the Italian arrest warrant, since they are not allowed to issue them an international arrest warrant under certain conditions. A spokesman for the Innsbruck public prosecutor said that there was no risk of escape or darkening, which is why Benko does not have to be detained. This confirms reports from Bloomberg Law be.

serious allegations and legal discussion

The accusations against Benko are even more difficult by including his accomplices, such as the tax consultant Heinz Peter Hager and the entrepreneur Paolo Signoretti. They should work with him to control the criminal activities. Benko's lawyer, Norbert Wess, confidently commented that the allegations that have only now become known to him can be invalidated as "incorrect". He emphasizes that a large part of the investigation has no reference to Benko or his company Signa.

The situation around Benko remains tense because the Italian investigations contain a comprehensive corruption examination. So far, it looks like Benko can defend his rights in Austria and remains at large for the time being, while the investigation continues.
