Escape Movement – The next prosecutor leaves the WKStA

There was great discontent in the Public Prosecutor’s Office for Economic Affairs and Corruption when the “Krone” reported in mid-April that Kurz’s chief prosecutor Gregor Adamovic was leaving the WKStA and announced further departures. The WKStA responded to the report with a two-page correction, in which the authority essentially explained that everything was running smoothly in the corruption prosecutor’s office and that the prosecutors were able to continue all investigations diligently despite Adamovic’s departure.

Weratschnig wants to go to Klagenfurt
Now, three months later, the article is confirmed, because the WKStA would have to deal with the loss of yet another prosecutor. Ironically, the group leader of the Ibiza complex, Bernhard Weratschnig, where all investigations against Sebastian Kurz and Heinz-Christian Strache converge, wants to flee to Klagenfurt. There he applied for the position of head of the public prosecutor’s office. The Graz public prosecutor’s office confirmed this to the “Krone”. Weratschnig is said to have been ranked first by the personnel committee.

Gregor Adamovic, who acted as a prosecutor against Kurz during the trial for making false statements, is now a judge in St. Pölten. And chief prosecutor Christine Jilek was already on the run. Even justice insiders, such as investigative journalist and WKStA expert Florian Klenk, are now publicly asking on the X platform (formerly Twitter): “Why are all the prosecutors running away from here? Who is running this office?”

WKStA boss Ilse Vrabl-Sanda is coming under pressure to prevent further departures.
