An entrepreneur produced the Pilnacek tape recording. It initially ended at the ‘Krone’. Now the author goes on the attack and explains the background.
The secret recordings of a fateful conversation with Christian Pilnacek caused a political earthquake (see video above). The affected ÖVP suspects that there is a politically controlled action behind it. MP Andreas Hanger suspected that FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl might be behind it. From the beginning, the “Krone” knew the background and details of the interview in a chic Italian restaurant in Vienna. And it was received shortly after the death of the former department head and top judicial official in late July, when Pilnacek expressed his frustration with the ÖVP and accused politicians such as National Council President Wolfgang Sobotka of asking him, Pilnacek, to prevent searches or influence proceedings.
Kickl doesn’t support it
Conclusion: Neither Kickl nor any other active politician is behind it. Another article in the Crown caused a stir on Thursday. There was clear evidence of those involved in the recording. One person came out publicly – also for the “Krone”: it is entrepreneur and ex-BZÖ politician Chris Mattura. “I recorded the conversation in July in which Christian Pilnacek expressed his frustration with the ÖVP. However, I had no intention of publishing this conversation because, despite initial disagreements, I became friends with Christian Pilnacek.”
Not everything published
“The day after his death and the brief bashing of the WKStA, I informed our mutual friend Wolfgang Rauball about the recording of the conversation, in which he had also participated. After initial criticism, Wolfgang Rauball asked me to publish the legally relevant part of the recording. When I pointed out that his voice was also heard on the tape, he replied, “I don’t care because they are messing around with our friend’s death; This image must be corrected.”
He also explained these circumstances to ‘Krone’ and the ORF, who, after thorough legal and forensic investigations, jointly published the explosive contents to pass on the recording. This can be confirmed.
