After a Porsche and suits, former Kurz confidant Thomas Schmid had a good time in Canada.
He is the key witness for the prosecution: the disgraced Kurz confidant Thomas Schmid. Thousands of mobile phone chats by the ex-ÖBAG boss plunged the former chancellor and with him the entire ÖVP into a deep crisis of confidence.
The former secretary-general of the Ministry of Finance himself lived big while still active in politics: with free Porsches for holiday trips and tailored suits from multi-millionaire Ronny Pecik.
Despite prosecution investigations against him, including the threat of repayment obligations – during an interrogation at the WKStA he sincerely assured that he would end up without a lawyer because he “wanted to use the financial resources sparingly” – he is still having a good time.
Cost price 12,000 euros
Thomas Schmid recently spent a week heli-skiing in Canada with friends from his homeland, the Tyrolean Unterland. A local provider advertises the luxury version of skiing with a helicopter for powder snow skiing on pristine ridges for the equivalent of 12,000 euros.
When asked by “Krone”, the organizer of the “excursion”, a well-known Tyrolean businessman and deep snow world champion, he only wants to say: “It was a private round with friends. Everyone felt very comfortable.” You don’t treat yourself to anything else.
