A blast in Tyrol: Chamber of Commerce chairman Christoph Walser resigned on Friday. In addition to the chairmanship of the World Cup, he also resigned from the Tyrolean Economic Association, the office of mayor and as chairman of the Tyrolean Tennis Association. “For personal reasons,” the statement said. In the meantime, the Public Prosecution Service confirmed that an investigation against Walser is underway.
“I have lived and fulfilled my role as Chairman of the Tyrolean Chamber of Commerce with heart and soul. However, due to my passion for this task, I have not always given the necessary space to my role and responsibility as an entrepreneur,” Walser said in a personal statement on Friday.
Further functions defined
Dealing with this situation now would require all our strength and concentration. “Therefore, for personal reasons, I am resigning as chairman of the Tyrolean Chamber of Commerce, my positions at the Tyrolean Economic Association, my position as mayor and as chairman of the Tyrolean Tennis Association. “To protect myself and my family, this decision is the only right and necessary decision to approach this task professionally and responsibly,” said Walser.
Investigation proceedings against Walser
Meanwhile, it was announced on Friday that Walser is being targeted by the justice system. “I can confirm that an investigation into criminal offenses under the Financial Crimes Act is ongoing at the Innsbruck Public Prosecutor’s Office. And I can also confirm that a search took place,” said Julia Klingenschmid, spokeswoman for the Innsbruck public prosecutor’s office, when asked by the “Tiroler Krone”.
Apparently it concerns a suspicion of tax evasion or tax evasion. In addition to his positions, from which Walser has now resigned, he heads the transport company CWA.
