Criminal proceedings initiated against René Benko: the public prosecutor's office is now investigating allegations of corruption against the billionaire and Signa founder. Benko's lawyer Norbert Wess also confirmed the investigations against the Austrian billionaire.
According to 1 information, it is about a loan from an Austrian bank for 25 million euros, which Benko is said to have concealed. The new criminal proceedings are another chapter in the saga surrounding Benko. After all, Lichtenstein had already initiated investigations into possible criminal proceedings against the founder of Signa Holding last week. The principality's public prosecutor's office confirmed this to Insider Paradeplatz without explicitly mentioning Benko's name.
