Authority Starved – Anti-Corruption: An Office as a “Construction Site”

Date:

It was a disturbing act by the director of the Federal Anti-Corruption Agency (BAK) in the committee on Wednesday. He couldn’t say anything about business. Does the BAK work together with the Federal Criminal Police Office? No idea. After the SOKO has been withdrawn from the WKStA due to disputes, the BAK is expected to assist with investigations. The problem: the authorities are starving.

A parliamentary question from NEOS to Interior Minister Gerhard Karner revealed: In 2018, there were still 118 vacancies; At the beginning of 2022, there were only 100. And the apparently ignorant interim manager has been around for two years. The vacancy is currently advertised. Still, Karner says all departments are doing their job. The ability to act is assured.

Interim director ‘radiated with disinterest’
Stephanie Krisper (NEOS) sees it differently and calls for the strengthening of authority. “Since Ibiza she has weakened. It is an open reform construction site.” The then Minister of the Interior Nehammer laid the foundation stone. The interim director he appointed “shone on the committee through ignorance and disinterest”.
