Therefore, the Federal Criminal Police Office had asked the prosecutor to consult the account register, which, according to the “Kronen Zeitung”, has now been granted.
Specifically, the Vienna prosecutor’s office is investigating a suspected breach of trust. The focus is not only on Strache, but also on his wife Philippa and three of his former employees. The investigators justify the request of the Federal Criminal Police to consult the record of accounts with the statements of witnesses who have already been interviewed.
The damage allegedly caused by Strache in the expenditure matter is said to be at least € 580,832.82, to the detriment of FPÖ Vienna, the federal FPÖ, the FPÖ parliamentary club and the Vienna FPÖ municipal council club. However, according to the incident report of the Federal Criminal Police available to the APA, this sum could be even higher.
The prosecution itself did not confirm the permitted account opening. No information should be given on individual steps in the investigation, as requested by the APA.
