Scandal involving billions of dollars: Ex-FPÖ MP Rauch in focus!

A huge scandal involving billions from Iran is shaking Austrian politics! Former FPÖ National Council member Walter Rauch, who resigned from his office in 2023, is involved in a bizarre affair involving forged documents and dubious money transfers. Loud campus a In 2021, Rauch was looking for an incredible 27.9 billion euros in cash on behalf of an Iranian-British businessman, ready for transport in well-defined pallets. These sums were connected to a despicable fraud attempt in which forged documents from the Austrian National Bank also played a role.

The businessman Farzin Koroorian Motlagh, who is said to be connected to the Iranian secret service, has already attracted attention through financial scandals. Motlagh was already involved in a suspected money laundering case in London in 2007, when pallets containing 20 billion euros were mysteriously stranded there. Rauch, whose involvement in this scandal is obvious, was rebuffed by the money transport company Loomis Austria when he tried to secure the gigantic amounts of money and was described as “nonsense” by the National Bank departments the Kronen Zeitung reported.
