The CEO of the casinos, Bettina Glatz-Kremsner, is said to have spoken with then-FPÖ head Heinz-Christian Strache about the cast of Peter Sidlos. She had presented it differently in Committee U.
A newly emerged official notice questions the statements of Bettina Glatz-Kremsner, General Director of Casinos Austria, in the Ibiza-U Committee. In questioning, she had stated under obligation to be honest that she had never spoken to the former FPÖ chief and vice chancellor, Heinz-Christian Strache, about the former FPÖ-related casino board member Peter Sidlo. An SMS should now confirm otherwise, as reported by “Kronen Zeitung” on Monday. If necessary, the suspicion of a false statement should be checked.
Glatz-Kremsner, former Vice President of ÖVP, was invited to the U-Committee as an information person in mid-September. In the poll, Neos faction leader Stephanie Krisper wanted to know if Sidlo had been a topic in Glatz-Kremsner’s conversations with Strache. “I have never spoken to Mr. Strache about the Sidlo issue,” he said, according to protocol.
“Very happy to support and without conviction”
In an official September memorandum, the following SMS Straches to Glatz-Kremsner in January 2019 is quoted: “Hello dear Bettina! I hope you are well. Everything is on the right track regarding Peter Sidlo! Thank you for your support ! Lg HC “. Glatz-Kremsner replied: “Dear Heinz, I am delighted and very happy to support you and with conviction! Kind regards and all the best for the happiness of your family – Bettina.”
In February 2019, Strache is also said to have written to the General Manager of Casinos: “Dear Bettina! The promise regarding Peter Sidlo holds anyway. I trust her! Glatz-Kremsner’s response:” Dear Heinz , Maybe we can make a quick phone call? Thanks and best regards, Bettina. “
Fraction verification announcements
The commission of inquiry has not yet received the official notice, Stephanie Krisper said. But this should come with the next installment, wait and: “Then I’ll take a look.” As in other cases, the MP wants to “check for contradictions” in this document and, if necessary, check a report for false statements.
The SPÖ has already lodged a complaint in the room for false statements in the current U-Committee – against Finance Minister Gernot Blümel (ÖVP). The leader of the SPÖ parliamentary group, Jan Krainer, finds it incredible “that someone can remember so little after two years in a ministerial office”, was the reasoning. However, the announcement has not yet been made, as the SPÖ parliamentary group said.
Glatz-Kremsner emphasized the “good union”
Glatz-Kremsner rejected the allegation of false statements on Monday. “It is clear from the context of the survey (s) that the relevant questions after a conversation between Glatz-Kremsner and Strache about Sidlo were about possible agreements and substantive agreements. Glatz-Kremsner sincerely denied such discussions,” he said. in a written statement.
The aforementioned correspondence refers to a positive and constructive deal between Glatz-Kremsner and Sidlo, as he was a possible new colleague on the board and Glatz-Kremsner had a great interest in good cooperation in the interests of the company. Glatz-Kremsner had already made this statement in Committee U in the course of his initial statement.
Krainer now hopes that the president of the National Council, Wolfgang Sobotka (ÖVP), will become chairman of the committee. Liberty Officer Christian Hafenecker, however, asks if Glatz-Kremsner could really have been listed as a suspect at the time of her questioning, should she actually have been involved in possible deals.
