Leases worth millions, billions in compensation and possibly phone calls. The first day in the COFAG Commission of Inquiry became a political stage and was tough. Wolfgang Peschorn, head of the Financial Prosecutor’s Office, tried to clarify matters related to COFAG, but also to René Benko, whom he repeatedly referred to as the “Tyrolean”. A former tax official also wanted to shed light on the matter. The “Krone” knows the background.
The election campaign for the upcoming National Council elections started at exactly 9:35 am on Wednesday. Anyone who thought the COVID-19 funding agency’s investigative committee was actually much the same was wrong. Instead, during the ‘doorsteps’ of the faction leaders, it became clear what was really at stake: René Benko and a few other billionaires and their connections to the ÖVP.
