Date:

As reported, the Public Prosecution Service for Economic and Corruption (WKStA) is concerned about suspicions against the Viennese city newspaper “Falter” for breach of trust and bribery. This also investigates the first suspicions against ‘Falter’ co-partner and editor-in-chief Florian Klenk. The “Crown” has the statement of facts. It raises suspicions of disloyalty, bribery and venality. Here are the explosive details.

In concrete terms, this concerns possible advertising corruption and benevolent reporting in favor of the Vienna City Hall SPÖ against advertising in the Falter. According to the statement of facts, there is “a well-founded suspicion regarding the realization of the criminal offenses of breach of trust and bribery/corruption, insofar as the City of Vienna, city companies and the Chamber of Labor place targeted advertisements in the Falter medium in order to create reporting that is beneficial for the Austrian Social Democratic Party to promote this medium.”
