Strache threatens to complain: confusion about election documents in Vienna!

In the shade of the upcoming Vienna election in April, a storm around ex-Vice-Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache rises. Two different support lists from Strache cause confusion among voters: "Team HC-Strache-Allianz for Austria" and "List Strache". This situation leads to allegations of voters; Strache has already announced legal steps. He sees the risk of confusion and criticizes the electoral authority, which in his opinion provoked the outrage by allowing the second list. Strache strives for an injunction, like krone.at reported.

Investigations and expenses

But that's not all: Investigations in connection with the so -called expansion affair, which also affects Strache, has been running since 2019. Private expenses, such as the renovation of a pool and tutoring for his children, were reportedly billed by the FPÖ party treasury. The complex dimensions of the procedure are impressive: 15 accused and an act of investigation with over 1,000 order numbers, explained today.at. The public prosecutor has already refunded 83 reports, and the investigation is extremely complex due to its multitude of proofs and the associated legal questions.

The Minister of Justice, Alma Zadic, emphasizes that the investigation lasts for a long time due to the extraordinary scope and the approximately 400 interrogations carried out. In addition, the question of possible criminal consequences for Strache's former driver and his secretary arises, but so far there is no clear information. The presumption of innocence applies to all accused in this procedure, but the pressure on Strache grows, while the shadows of the investigation are steadily over him.
