Good news for Carinthia's hunting commissioner and deputy governor Martin Gruber (ÖVP). The four complaints that were filed against him due to the wolf regulation, which facilitates the shooting of the protected animals, have been dismissed.

The Klagenfurt public prosecutor's office confirmed a report by the "Kleine Zeitung" on Thursday and stated that there is no investigation because it would not fall within their remit to review regulations.

"Not Verifiable by the Public Prosecutor's Office"

"It was reported that the regulation was illegal, but the reported fact is not verifiable by the public prosecutor's office," explained the spokesman for the public prosecutor's office, Markus Kitz. The four complaints, which were filed last year, were about the legality of the regulations. Three complaints of abuse of office and negligent impairment of the environment were filed by an animal protection organization, one was received anonymously. Since the regulation came into effect in 2022, a total of 19 wolves have been shot in accordance with the regulation in Carinthia.
