Heinz-Christian Strache is also said to have given tax reasons for charging the part of private costs with which he was charged. This is clear from a statement made by his former assistant, which can be found in the order available to the APA to open accounts for the former president of the FPÖ. Strache’s former assistant, who is also a defendant in the case, made a confession of fact on questioning.
The HC Strache team did not know if the account opening had already been carried out at the request of the APA, Strache continues to calmly await the matter. The Vienna Prosecutor’s Office only confirmed that the process was still pending. In total, the amount of the damages amounts to 580,832.82 euros, as is clear from the incident report of the Federal Criminal Police to the Public Ministry of Vienna.
According to the statements of two former Straches bodyguards, the former assistant to the former FPÖ president also confirmed the incriminated accusations and thus incriminated her former employer. She was questioned a total of four times during the past year and “was essentially responsible in the sense of the accusation”, according to the order to open accounts.
Former employee Straches once again confirmed details that had been increasingly leaked to the public in recent times, which is obviously also related to the current Viennese election campaign in which Strache is competing against his former party. According to this, the private costs are said to have been paid from the party’s cash register and false invoices were issued for them.
As early as 2014, it is said that Strache wrote “credibly” – so it says in the order – a short message to the former assistant, in which it is said that he asked her to “write immediately ‘for political reasons” in all bills “. In a second, she explained: “For tax reasons!” What Strache might have meant by that is unclear from the statement.
Strache himself has always denied allegations that he had offset private party expenses as expenses. He is suspicious of his political opponents, especially his former FPÖ party behind him, who wanted to prevent his desired success in the Vienna elections.
