Investigations against sub-conductor: Aua lagy with suspicion!
Investigations against sub-conductor: Aua lagy with suspicion!
Almost ten months after the hailstick, which a machine of the Austrian Airlines (Aua) damaged, the legal education is significantly expanded. The Vienna public prosecutor's office has now initiated investigations against the head and six other persons from the Federal Security Investigation Center. The suspicion includes various offenses such as abuse of office, favoring and suppression of evidence, whereby not all suspects are equally affected.
The Airbus A320 of the AUA got into a thunderstorm cell on the return flight from Palma de Mallorca on the return flight from Palma de Mallorca. The emergency call "Mayday" was discontinued during the incident, but the machine was able to land safely at Vienna-Schwechat Airport. Fortunately, there were no injuries among the passengers, but the plane suffered significant damage.
Investigations and securing evidence
Three weeks ago, cockpit voice recorder and flight data writer in the Ministry of Transport were ensured, since the sub did not want to publish them voluntarily. The passenger attorney Wolfgang List had previously brought in a presentation of facts with the Vienna public prosecutor's office, which expresses suspicion of corruption and other crimes. The Viennese indictment checked the initial suspicion and initiated an investigation. In the interim report of the sub is spoken of an "incident" and not of an "accident".
The sub-manager has given the proceedings concerned, and the other suspects are also affected. International private reports confirm a "serious accident". The Vienna Higher Regional Court must now decide whether to secure the records was legal. So far, the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data writer have not yet been evaluated, which affects the progress of the investigation.
additional legal exams
In parallel to these incidents, the Korneuburg public prosecutor continues to check the allegation of negligent community hazard. Due to the scope of the surveys, an end to the investigation is not yet foreseeable. In addition to the legal aspects, it is also important to mention that the Federal Aircraft Accident Investigation (BFU) is working regardless of the judicial or administrative procedure and accidents as well as serious disorders of civil aircraft in Germany. Your goal is accident prevention, but your reports do not contain any findings on guilt or liability.In this complex situation, it is crucial to also consider the role of the sub and that of the BFU in the ongoing investigations. The independence of the studies and the strict guidelines for air security are essential components to prevent future incidents and to maintain confidence in the aviation industry. The coming weeks could bring further clarity, especially with regard to the legal consequences and the security effects.
