Tyrolean community association is fighting for comparison - 6.5 million at stake!

The Tyrolean community association is currently facing the challenge of striving for an out -of -court comparison for the insolvent group of Gemnova. This was reported after insolvency administrator Stefan Geiler made a claim of 6.5 million euros to the community association. President Karl-Josef Schubert endeavors to agree on a lower amount, otherwise it could threaten complaints against the communities involved. The Gemnova had to file for bankruptcy after 13 years with a total amount of around 10 million euros.

The situation is particularly tense because the Innsbruck public prosecutor's office has been investigating the former president of the municipal association, Ernst Schöpf, and the former managing director of Gemnova, Alois Rathgeb since 2024. They are accused of being involved in suspicion of the fraudulent crida and the grossly negligent impairment of the creditor interests. In this context, the municipal association brought in an action for compensation against Schöpf, Rathgeb and the tax advisor at the time, but which was made dormant, since the demands of the mass administrator are still unclear.

economic background and damage amount

A BDO report puts the damage at 6.5 million euros, which is due to under -priced services. Insolvency administrator horny emphasizes that the chronic sub -capitalization and existing financing gaps in the history of Gemnova were known. In the current situation, Schubert excludes a new special subsidy of the municipalities, which makes the negotiations even more difficult.

The legal framework for insolvency proceedings, as determined in insolvency law, serve to the creditor's even distribution of the assets of the insolvent parties. The goal is to prevent some creditors from being fully compensated while others go out empty. In this context, creditor can influence the use of the assets by decision, with different options, such as the sale of the assets or the development of an insolvency plan. This was also discussed by the bmj.

future prospects for the affected communities

The situation around Gemnova raises questions about the financial stability of the affected communities. In the event of complaints, the municipalities could be forced to bear the financial consequences. Therefore, the course of the negotiations and the decision on an out -of -court comparison will be of great importance. A successful extrajudicial comparison could not only reduce the financial pressure on the communities, but also help to restore confidence in the local institutions.
