Nathalie Benko pulls the ripcord: divorce after 15 years!

In a dramatic turn in the Benkos private and business world, René and Nathalie Benko's marriage is turned upside down. After more than 15 years of marriage, Nathalie is said to have submitted a divorce while her husband René has been in custody since the end of January. This separation is not only in the middle of René's legal difficulties, which contain several procedures for pretending the solvency of the Signa Group, but also after the recent excitement about possible money laundering in connection with a planned opening of Nathalie, such as Puls24 reported.

The 41-year-old had increasingly withdrawn from the public in the past few months and clearly distanced himself from her husband's business machinations. At the moment it looks dark, not only for marriage, but also for the financial situation of the family. While René stays in the Josefstadt prison, the family is forced to leave their villa at IGLS, since no rent has been paid there for months that was previously covered by the Laura Privat Foundation. According to report, Nathalie Benko's decision should be a “conclusion”, while the couple is confronted with the challenges of divorce and the legal problems that affect both, in particular attacks on Nathalie's business integrity, such as 5min registered.

The investigation by the Economic and Corruption Prosecutor's Office (WKStA) is now increasingly aimed at Nathalie, which the situation continues to complicate. Whether the marriage can remain under these conditions seems doubtful, especially since the financial and legal problems have already significantly burdened the family.
