It was the first to officially demand claims from former billionaire René Benko: the Finanzprokuratur led by Wolfgang Peschorn. Since then, the former real estate magnate has been exposed step by step: he is now personally bankrupt and has to give up everything that belongs to him. The “Krone” asked Peschorn what will happen next and whether Benko will still be able to avoid the severity of the legal system.
“Due to the bankruptcy, he is no longer allowed to open his mail,” Wolfgang Peschorn explains to what extent René Benko must accept a guardian in everyday matters. No access to the accounts, now the curator decides. A business pyramid with more than a thousand individual companies is wobbling worryingly.
