NÖ: Investigations Against Former SPÖ Vice Mayor Dropped

The former SPÖ deputy mayor from the Melk district, who has since resigned, was accused of using association funds for personal purposes. A spokesperson for the St. Pölten public prosecutor's office justified this on Friday in response to an APA inquiry with active remorse.

Former SPÖ Deputy Mayor Returned Diverted Association Funds

The man had compensated for the damage of around 15,000 euros before the authorities became aware of his misconduct, as reported by the media. The Social Democrat was responsible for the affected charity until the beginning of the year. The case became known in the media in August, and the deputy mayor resigned. The former local politician is said to have acted due to a private emergency. After an internal review of the municipality's financial transactions, it was ruled out in mid-August that municipal funds had flowed to the man. The public prosecutor's office investigated for embezzlement. The proceedings have now been closed in accordance with paragraph 190 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, reported the "NÖN".
