Dizziness about Corona aids: Wiener clubs only on paper?

Von WOM

Four people in Vienna are the focus of the investigation because they are suspected of having illegally made financial help during the corona crisis. These people, including a 56-year-old man and his ex-wife, are said to have founded eleven fictional clubs in order to apply for state funding of EUR 320,000 through a state fund. These funds were originally intended to support clubs in pandemic.

According to the indictment, the accused submitted a total of 56 applications that had practically fully flowed on personal accounts after receipt. It is believed that the money was used for private purposes to improve their own financial situation.

negotiation delays and bizarre incidents

The first trial was turbulent. The 56-year-old caused unrest in the courtroom and was therefore expelled. His ex-wife stayed very far from the negotiation and stated on the phone that she could not appear due to "nothing to eat". In addition, she expressed allegations against the judiciary that she had "stolen" her money. The judge broke off the conversation because there was no factual basis. Attempts to demonstrate the woman failed because she could not be found at her place of residence.

During the investigation, the main accusations defended themselves and demanded that the clubs they founded actually existed. The 56-year-old evaded for questions about the use of the funding and ironically asked: "Can't an association buy from Karl Lagerfeld?"

The ex-wife tried to escape the personal appearance through written explanations. She claimed that the funding had been properly used and that it could even prove "a thousand hours of activity".

The process is to be continued in the near future, whereby the details and the further procedure are strongly the focus of the public. Further insights and developments on this topic can be taken from the following source: www.meinbezirk.at .
