Before the judge – “Had no idea”: Benko puts pressure on his wife

Has René Benko’s wife Nathalie helped the Pleb of billion dollars to protect personal valuables against the access of his creditors? The researchers of the office of the Economic and Corruption Officer of Justice (WKSTA) are now striving for this. Mrs Benko was recently found as a possible perpetrator of the contribution on the list of accused – she also denies the accusations, the suspicion of innocence applies.

As reported, part of the research revolves around a safe that was purchased in the sensitive phase of the bankruptcy registration of the 47-year-old Tyrolean in the beginning of March 2024 and was founded in a house in a house in the Tyroolean Pond with the family members of Mrs. Benko. Researchers Soko Signa found in the course of a house search, together with seven valuable ladies’ rings, including expensive men’s watches, to which René Benko is added.

Benko already emphasized in a profession in April: he had given four wrist watches for men to his very young sons. He only later discovered the installation of the safe, ie after his oath of Revelation. But in the last prison on May 6, the judge also caught up. The “Krone” publishes the protocol.

Right: It is clear that this is the case that this safe was actually purchased in March 2024 with your private bankruptcy request or opening of the bankruptcy procedure? Where were the clocks earlier? Were the objects in the house in Igls in advance and were then given to Pfunds or do you have an explanation why the objects have shifted at that time?

Bank: Like I said, I had no idea at the start of the purchase that a safe was bought.

Right: SOh how this is, has it all organized her wife?

Bank: Yes, just, that’s why I say yes.

Right: But you knew about the safe afterwards because they were on this safe in the summer of 2024?

Bank: And.

Right: But why did your wife do that at the time?

Bank: You have to ask them, but the fact is that everyone thinks (…) that I didn’t know anything about it in the beginning. In fact, I didn’t know anything about the purchase of the safe in the beginning and later discovered it later (…)

Right: But there has been a time frame for your private bankruptcy application. This is undisputed, right?

Bank: This is undisputed if that were, yes.

Against cash in the attic
Subsequently, the judge wonders whether the valuable items were previously kept in the then family villa in Innsbruck-Igl’s. As is known, the real estate was even after the bankruptcy the clock under the security of security personnel.

Bank: I assume, yes, but as I said, I knew absolutely nothing about the purchase in the beginning (the safe, note).

Right: But why does she (Mrs Benko, note) do that?

Bank: Because she clearly had the need to separate certain things, yes. So again, I can’t tell you anymore. Then she told me about it, but I didn’t know, for example, that my wife also had a box with other documents and cash in the attic. So it is not that we have discussed every detail.

Right: But in the summer of 2024 you were on the safe, in the end you should have known about his existence?

Bank: She told me about it, yes, of course, but only later, not immediately in time.

Right: But why didn’t she explain it?

Bank: No, I really can’t explain it with the best will. It also has no logic at all. The fact is why you are not seven struggles and the other jewelry, so I also find it difficult to give you an answer if you ask me.

Heavily guarded family Villa
The real estate in Innsbruck Igls, which until recently was used by the Benkos, which had now assessed around 80 million euros in the books of the owner company, should have its own safe. Such a room in the planning phase was intensively coordinated with the architects. You can find insight into the design of this room, in which expensive jewelry can be stored well:

Moreover, the noble ownership was heavily monitored. Even after the bankruptcy, the protectors of armed person took care of the entire clock.
