Four years of research. 30 Witnesses. A few thousand pages. An indictment with 108 pages. Twelve sensational tasting days. More than 600 pages protocol of the process. And the result of these studies of superlatives? A zero number.
Five years after the statement in the U-Committee, Sebastian Kurz celebrates a symbolic victory. The process as a result of false statements ended with a violent Watschn for the WKSTA. This should shake the corruption hunters to invest their energy in relevant causae. Because the balance in the “Ibiza complex” has been modest so far.
With the exuberant investigation against Kurz, the WKSTA has become the instrument of political actors, who are increasingly finding truth in the U-committee. Instead, you want to beat the political opponent with advertisements.
This request was at least open. The research led to a media layer at home and abroad: 7,700 media reports in Austria alone for false explanation. More than 1500 media reports in international media.
As if the shame was not large enough, the WKSTA still delivered a faux in the judicial palace. The most important public prosecutors proposed to convert the eight -month penalty into a fine. A small guidance from the Senate Richter for the WKSTA followed. And that was: not possible – this requires the consent of the suspect. A success run looks different.
