An investigation has been launched against a known suspect and unknown perpetrators. It will therefore be determined whether criminal law-relevant errors have been made in the official actions surrounding the discovery of the body.
This was preceded by a complaint from Martin Kreutner, head of the investigative committee established by Justice Minister Alma Zadić (Greens), which is investigating possible political influence during Pilnacek’s tenure as section head.
The statement of facts was not about the circumstances of Pilnacek’s death – foul play was ruled out – but about the removal of personal items after the body was found by detectives in his home.
The Krems Public Prosecutor’s Office did not order a seizure and the police did not report the seizure. Initially, the Krems Public Prosecutor’s Office was responsible, but they transferred the procedure to the WKStA.
After investigating an initial suspicion, an investigation has now been started into suspicion of abuse of office or incitement to abuse of office, according to ORF Lower Austria.
