There are unpleasant news about societies in the nearby area of the Laura Privat Foundation of the Insolvent Signa founder René Benko: Hercules with GMBH, based in Innsbruck and Hercules Finance Holding GmbH, reported to the Innsbruck Regional.
In this context, however, it is interesting in which name the two companies operated for it – namely as Laura who held GmbH and Laura Finance with GmbH. Laura Holding, among other things, held 100 percent on the Hof 2 Hotel Betriebs GmbH, who had operated the Hyatt Park. The Bankruptcy Court now checks whether the requirements for an insolvency opening would be paid, such as KSV1870 and Creditreform announced on Wednesday.
Sales process around Park Hyatt started
It was previously announced that the sales process around the Hyatt Park in the center of Vienna had begun. As the bankruptcy manager Nobert Abel announced, the hotel must be sold in the middle of the year. The value of the property was estimated long ago with around 350 million euros.
Requirements in the range of double digital million
The requirements for Hercules with GMBH and Hercules Finance Holding GmbH have to move in the high range with double digital million million. According to the KSV, the applications were apparently related to the requirements of companies of the Insolvent Signa Group against the “Laura Society”. The applications were made because this time it was probably not possible to regulate the claims – like elsewhere.
The Laura Private Foundation – as the first pier of Benko’s mother, Ingeborg Benko, functions – is the most important shareholder of Hercules that GmbH holds by 42 percent. Incidentally, the latter should not be confused with a mobile management with the same name in Vienna. America Invest AG (34.9 percent), Fressnapf Luxembourg GmbH (10 percent), AE Familyhold AG (10 percent) and Swiss Signa investor Ernst Tanner, large shareholder of the Chocolate Group Lindt & Sprüngli, hold smaller company shares with 3 percent. Hercules Holding GmbH is again the only shareholder of Hercules Finance Holding GmbH.
Laura Private Foundation in The Crosshairs
The Signa Mass Manager, Benko’s Foundation Bunker, including the Laura Private Foundation, is currently trying to crack. Finally, they had failed with a lawsuit against the Benko mother, with which it was achieved that the founding rights at the Laura Private Foundation based in Innsbruck and the INGBE Foundation in the Liechtenstein Vaduz Pass to the Signa Mass Manager and are not in the hands of the mother.
As the “Kroon” reported several times, there are countless indications that René Benko has always kept control of the two foundations in which a large fortune is said to be “parked”, and Ingeborg Benko should only have been advanced as a “straw woman”. In the Laura Private Foundation alone, it is said that assets are in the reach of three digital million.
