Strache in the million-dollar scandal: Who is lying, the investor or ex-Vice-Chancellor?

A turbulent scandal around the former Vice Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache, suspected of fraud, pulls wide circles. According to information from krone.at it all started at a New Year's reception in the Nobelhotel Imperial in Vienna, where the investor Danny K. presented its lucrative offers. He promised local entrepreneurs to ensure up to 400 million euros through the Arab Emirate of Oman. Among the approximately 80 guests was also Strache, the former FPÖ boss, who claimed to invest a lot of money, but later explained that he was a victim. His lawyer emphasizes that the criminal investigation should be hired against Danny K.

Investigations and scandal about expense reports

While the allegations against Danny K. point out fraud, Strache's ex-office Karin S. is also planning her defense, such as Kurier.at . She is accused of having instigated Strache for the false statement in order to cover private expenses via expenses accounts. Karin S. is a central figure in this scandal because she is suspected of disguising invoices from restaurant visits as work orders in order to achieve illegal reimbursements. Well-known names, such as the FPÖ MP Hans-Jörg that, are said to be involved in this scandal, which continues to complicate the judicial processing.

Strache is also accused of not wearing his private editions himself. Instead, the investigators openly leave that his employees may have settled their own costs as expenditure of Strache. This raises the alarm, especially with regard to the high number of bogus invoices that have been exposed in these machinations. The scandal about Strache attracts not only in politics, but also in the judiciary, while the investigation is still underway.
