The public prosecutor's office is intensifying its investigations into the small garden case in Vienna-Donaustadt.

In the case of land deals with small gardens in Vienna-Donaustadt, the public prosecutor's office has ordered further interrogations and investigations by the Federal Office for Corruption Prevention, as ORF Vienna reported on Sunday. The case involves SPÖ officials - including the Donaustadt district mayor Ernst Nevrivy - allegedly owning plots that have gained value through rezoning.

Small Garden Case: Investigations for Abuse of Office Continue

In 2020, Nevrivy bought a plot in a facility in Breitenlee, which was rezoned as building land in 2021. This led to accusations that the district mayor had benefited from the change. Before Nevrivy, several SPÖ politicians had already purchased plots there. In addition to Nevrivy, the public prosecutor's office is currently investigating another person, according to the report.

City Audit Office Saw No Political Intervention

In early October, an audit report from the city audit office on various land use procedures also appeared in the Breitenlee small garden association, in which no political interventions in zoning procedures could be detected.
