It was a bang when reports from “Krone” and “News” revealed the political connections of SOKO-Signa boss Manuel Scherscher. The green discoverer Nina Tomaselli wants to take a closer look at the black threads, but especially the connection between the Tyrolean real estate juggler René Benko and the President of the National Council, Wolfgang Sobotka – and asks the outgoing president a few unpleasant questions.
Manuel Scherscher was once a close colleague of Wolfgang Sobotka at the Ministry of the Interior and ran for the National Council in the 2019 National Council election for the ÖVP under Sebastian Kurz. As head of the “SOKO” Signa, he is now expected to continue the investigation against the financial juggler René Benko, even though he had a close relationship with the president of the National Council, Sobotka and Kurz.
“Scherscher is head of the economic crime division; Due to this position and the division of activities, it is his responsibility to carry out the duties of the official management of SOKO-Signa,” the Federal Criminal Police Office said. So it’s not all that bad? Not at all, say the Greens. U Committee specialist Nina Tomaselli is particularly interested in Benko’s connection with Sobotka and is now even sending a parliamentary question to the coalition partner.
