Procedure Following Diversion Against Wöginger Not Yet Concluded

ÖVP club chairman August Wöginger transferred the 44,000 euros on October 8, which were set in the abuse of office proceedings as part of the diversion. On October 9, the two co-defendant officials paid their fines of 22,000 euros.

Court must inform the Economic and Corruption Prosecutor's Office of the decision for diversion

The symbolic amount of 500 euros each to the disadvantaged applicant for the head position at the Braunau tax office was also transferred. Now the presiding judge has to determine whether the proceedings will actually be dismissed, Eichinger continued. The decision then goes to the Economic and Corruption Prosecutor's Office, which can subsequently file an objection within 14 days. Therefore, it will still take some time before this case is legally closed.
