Two cousins were employed by the municipality of Poysdorf (Lower Austria) all their working lives. Now the officials in the court of Korneuburg are in the dock: they are said to have enriched themselves with 2.2 million in the past 25 years. According to the two men, this has been approved by both the state of Lower Austria and the municipality.
And in the form of allowances. Due to a staff shortage, the then director of the central government (64) and head of the financial department (65) were given more tasks in the 1990s. That also means more money – still shillings at the time.
“Hard Work Treaty”
However, they are not allowed to reach the salary level of the two officials with their trade school diplomas – according to the accused a bonus from the Poysdorf community for their hard work. “It was just normal then”, defend Rudolf Mayer and Nikolaus Rast. Numerous protocols would support this. But most of them were written by the ex-head of the finance department: “Everything has been checked x-fold and no objection has ever been raised.” It is suspended for witness hearings.
