The FPÖ politically takes over the head of the Donaustadt district, Nevrivy (SPÖ). Now you are getting help.
The Wienwert question is now one more facet. Former Wienwert boss Stefan Gruze had his lawyer Norbert Wess explain to him on Tuesday: The accusations against him in connection with a property deal in the Danube City are inaccurate. District President Ernst Nevrivy (SPÖ) had not disclosed any official secrets to him.
Wiener Linien’s planned real estate project had been known for a long time. Nevrivy also did not ask for sponsorship, as was falsely reported in the media.
Because it is? On Sunday it became known that the Business and Corruption Prosecutor’s Office is conducting an investigation against the Donaustadt district administrator, Ernst Nevrivy. It is about the suspicion of violation of official secrecy, corruption, contribution to infidelity and acceptance of benefits to influence.
Resold expensive plot
The main focus of the investigation is, among other things, a property deal in 2017. At the time, Wiener Linien had planned to buy neighboring properties to a remise at Attemsgasse in Kagran. Donaustadt district president Nevrivy knew of the intention and later the decision of the supervisory board of the transport company. It is said that he passed this inside information to the head of the real estate company Wienwert or WW Holding, which went bankrupt in 2018, Stefan Gruze, according to the indictment.
During the same period, Nevrivy is said to have accepted a benefit for a third party from Wienwert AG in the form of sponsorship worth € 30,000 for a marching band based in the district. So now Gruze defends the district administrator, with a surprising argument. The property agreement was “exclusively a private investment” and the Wienwert Group is not associated with it. “Stefan Gruze was authorized by the supervisory board to make private investments of this type,” says his lawyer, who admits: It is true that the property was bought for 1.3 million euros and sold again about a year later. for 2.15 million plus sales taxes. Gruze describes this as “a completely ordinary matter, which is in no way related to the district president, Ernst Nevrivy.”
Strictly confidential file note
The FPÖ does not want to believe that. On Tuesday, he referred to a note in the file that the case was strictly confidential at the time. Dominik Nepp, head of FPÖ Vienna: Nevrivy handed Gruze a strictly confidential document, “and was able to close a mega deal based on Nevrivy’s inside information.” Nevrivy flatly denied it.
