Duration of the procedure – Bar Association sees abuses at WKStA

Date:

After the president of the Vienna Bar, Michael Enzinger, the new president of the Austrian Bar Association (ÖRAK), Armenak Utudjian, also criticized the Public Prosecution Service for Economic Affairs and Corruption (WKStA). “Enzinger’s criticism is factually justified. In recent years, in particular, it has become apparent at the WKStA that there are many abuses there,” says Utudjian.

“You keep hearing of proceedings in which suspects are not interrogated for years. Therefore, the duration of preliminary investigations should also be limited by law so that there are no eternally long investigations,” Utudjian added in the “Wiener Zeitung”.

You have to look at the details first. “But if you can’t sue in three years, you can’t make it in six: that’s our impression,” Utudjian said. Enzinger had described the WKStA as an “unguided missile”.
