Key witness Sabine Beinschab said in her testimony that “the same system” prevails in red ministries as in the ÖVP. However, the WKStA found no initial suspicion and discontinued the proceedings.
The former SPÖ federal managing directors Laura Rudas and Josef Ostermayer were among those suspected. According to “profil”, the investigators were unable to determine whether the studies supposedly benefiting the SPÖ had actually been commissioned and paid for by the Chancellery. Unlike the “leg scraping Austria tool”, there is no sufficient evidence, according to the reasons for the appointment.
The WKStA confirmed the discontinuation of the investigation into breach of trust once morest five people who were previously initially suspected.
