This would be shown by previously unpublished documents that exist in the “Standard”, the ORF and “profil”. According to a decision by the data protection authority, this investigation was unlawful, it said.
The trigger was that SP deputy Jan Krainer published tax details of VP-Grospender and KTM boss Stefan Pierer in 2017 by means of a parliamentary request, in the middle of the high phase of the National Council election campaign. It was placed in the room that Pierer had transferred money from the Principality to Austria before a tax agreement with Liechtenstein entered into force. The then finance minister Hans Jrg Schelling (VP) had filed a complaint about the violation of official secrecy with the Economic and Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (WKStA) after the publication of the tax data.
At the same time, the in-house office for internal affairs (BIA) is said to have been set up to find Krainers’ informant. Documents available to the three media are now supposed to show that the search for clues was not only large, but also legally problematic. According to the file material, the BIA had interpreted its competencies very broadly and independently, without waiting for official investigations, as the “profil” reported online.
The BIA is said not only to have analyzed “log files” of numerous tax officials, but also to have questioned suspects. The Ministry of Finance’s act ended up comprising around 8,000 pages. The leak was still not found.
