ÖVP Sports Spokesperson: “Until the suspicion of corruption is fully cleared up”
Vienna (OTS) – Burgenland member of the ÖVP National Council and ÖVP sports spokesperson, Abg. Christoph Zarits calls on former Burgenland governor and state sports advisor Hans Niessl to resign from all his duties in sport until the suspicion of corruption against him and the SPÖ-Burgenland has been fully cleared up. “Sport means justice, corruption should have no place here. Therefore, Niessl should be sporty and resign until the allegations are clarified, ”Zarits said Tuesday.
Specifically, it is the Commerzialbank Mattersburg case. “Not only that Niessl and former bank manager Martin Pucher were close friends and Niessl was a guest at their 50th celebration. Apparently, he also received annual VIP tickets worth around 3,000 euros and, like all the elite of the SPÖ Burgenland , he was a permanent guest in the expensive VIP club, ”says Zarits. “All of this needs to be clarified, and by then Niessl should retire from his activities as a sports official. This includes the prominent role of President of Sport Austria. “
