Benko in the sights of the investigators: Foundations under pressure!

In Italy, the prosecutors for anti-mafia investigations are actively against the well-known financial entrepreneur René Benko and his assistants. They are suspected of having formed a criminal association. These investigations have far-reaching consequences, not least for the new occupation of the Benko foundations, in which the last assets of the real estate magnate are managed. According to reports from Krone , the extensive investigation by the public prosecutor in Trento has been running since 2019 and are directed against Austrian and Italian actors. Benko and his alleged accomplices reject the allegations and refer to the presumption of innocence.

Apparently there are new key staff in the Benko foundations: Thomas Limberger is now being appointed to the board of the Laura Private Foundation, while Robert Schimanko has been working on the Benko's mother in the Benko's mother since November. Both managers are old companions of the night club owner Ronny Pecik and mainly operate from Switzerland. Special connections between these figures can be historically proven, as an email from 2008 shows that is the "crown" and which documents their joint meetings in Zurich. Schimanko and Benko also share a passion for horses and have worked closely together to advance Benkos Signa's hotel project in Vienna. So reports The Standard .
