The business magazine “Trend” reports that the former justice minister and now constitutional judge is listed as a suspect in the case surrounding the construction of the tower on Vienna’s Heumarkt.

In the case surrounding the construction of the tower on Vienna’s Heumarkt, former Justice Minister and now constitutional judge Wolfgang Brandstetter, who was sent by the ÖVP, must also be indicted. This is reported by the business magazine “Trend”. Therefore, he is suspected of passing information about the investigations against former green politician Christoph Chorherr to high-rise investor Michael Tojner. Brandstetter denies it.

The suspicion is said to have arisen after a search at Tojner’s home, the report says. There was no confirmation from the Economic and Corruption Prosecutor’s Office. Brandstetter himself emphasized to the magazine that he could rule out having transmitted information from the archives because, as a minister, he had no knowledge of the criminal files.

Relationship between donation and political actions?

For some time now, authorities have been investigating a possible connection between zoning (Canon was a councilor and planning spokesman for the Greens in Vienna) and donations to the charity supporting a school project in South Africa. The fact that people in the real estate industry donated to you has been a matter of debate for years.

Canon itself has always denied allegations of corruption. There is no connection between donations and political actions, he has repeatedly stated. According to the WKStA, 44 suspects, that is, individuals or organizations, are now being investigated for the cause.
