What role did René Benko Nathalie’s wife play around her husband’s bankruptcy? Why did she bought a safe and set up with family members? The “Kroon” knows the final report of the Soko Signa.
In the Benko case, things go in a party. The office of the Economic and Corruption Officer of Justice (WKSTA) recently sent the Ministry of Justice a first project report on a partial order. According to justice experts, it is assumed that the accusation of serious fraudulent crida should be claimed. Specific: For assets in the millions of which Signa founder René Benko would have withdrawn around his bankruptcy as the only traders. Benko fiercely denies the allegations; The suspicion of innocence applies to him and possible accomplices.
The safe in the bunk room
The researchers of the wife of Soko Signa Benko Nathalie attribute a not insignificant role in hiding expensive watches and other valuables that are said to have heard René Benko. This would have bought a safe in March 2024 to have bought her husband’s bankruptcy, which was founded in a bunk room with her relatives in the Tyrolean village of Pounds. As is known, the researchers found a remarkable number of high -quality men’s bracelets in the course of the house searches, which they attribute René Benko. In addition: 120,000 euros in cash and valuable cufflinks.
René Benko said he only learned later about the takeover of the safe. And: he tried the fact that in the safe men’s watches and cuffs of his wife were crashed, and explained that on Christmas Eve 2021 he gave his two sons his cuffs and luxury time meter. The exclusive valuables have not been his for years.
The Christmas story
However, the criminalists do not believe that the Christmas story of Benko and suspect that the expensive precious belongs to the plea himself, which they wanted to hide in his wife’s vault, so that his mass manager does not have access. If that were true, this would be fraudulent crida, and Benko would be up to ten years in prison in the case of a conviction for all rooms in the room.
Even worse: according to the research of “Krone” and “News”, the criminists accuse the participation of the alleged fraudulent Crida by René Benko. In essence for two reasons: on the one hand, Benko’s wife had bought and filled the safe. On the other hand, after the seizure of the valuables and cash in January 2025, her lawyer submitted an application for publication. Her client wants to keep Nathalie Benko’s lawyer, writes the wristwatches and cufflinks of the men for her minor sons confiscated in the safe. In this application, the information from René Benko that he had given his sons for Christmas 2021 will be spicy in this application.
A look at the family albums
Mrs Benkos Bad: the researchers of the Soko Signna worked by the Benkos family albums and meticulously compiled photos, who are of the opinion that the Benko history should clearly refute, according to the expensive men’s watches to be given away to young family members on December 24, 2021. With the police on this procedure. In these photos you can see René Benko himself on December 25, 2021, but also in the following years with his favorite watch, a Golden Patek Philippe Nautilus, who was reportedly given away on Christmas Eve 2021.
New lawyer, new version
According to Justice Insiders, the wife of Benko is now in danger of being accused of being accused of being a possible accomplice as a possible accomplice and to appear in court. What does Nathalie Benko say? She denies the allegations. And the police recently submitted a completely different story:
Your lawyer had asked for the publication of men’s jewels. The Men’s Watch and the accompanying cufflinks-without her knowledge. And: Your lawyer also confirmed René Benko’s Christmas watch story without her knowledge. Nathalie Benko brought this version through a new legal representative; By the way, her third lawyer since January 2025.
It remains exciting whether the prosecutor of economic and corruption sees sufficient suspicion to attract Mrs. Benko with her husband on a dock. Incidentally, the researchers also tried to evaluate the chat course between René and Nathalie Benko on the preparation of the secret safe in pounds. The result: on the mobile phone of René Benko, written communication with his wife only starts again on March 12, 2024, only the day after the safe was set up. The final report of the criminalists state: “Whether the course of WhatsApp with Nathalie Benko was not deleted by René Benko before 12.03.2024 cannot be determined.”
