Carolyn List defends herself against the formulations in the inquiry report and calls for the commission’s chairman to cease and desist. The Chief Justice, in turn, makes “undifferentiated general assumptions”.
Criticism of the inquiry’s report, led by Martin Kreutner, continues. Caroline Liszt, the widow of Christian Pilnacek and president of the Cross Regional Court for Criminal Affairs, has appointed a lawyer. In particular, it concerns the written copy of the report, through which Liszt feels that his private life area has been violated. According to documents obtained by “the press”, Karin W., who claims to have been the partner of the former division head, is mentioned in the 16-page summary of the report distributed to the press, and is also mentioned. Such.
“As a result, my client’s married life is being discussed, and the personal life and reputation of Christian Pilnacek is being violated, as you accuse him of having an extramarital affair, among other things,” attorney Peter Sochbauer wrote in a letter to Martin. Grudner. He calls on Grudner to no longer refer to Karin W as Christian Pilnacek’s accomplice or to remove the statements already made.
ZackZack concluded the comparison
A few days ago, Zack Media GmbH, the media of former Green National Council member Peter Bills, had to respond to similar statements in court. ZackZack reported that, among other things, unlike W., List was not invited by the commission to provide information, and Pilnacek argued. The proceedings ended with a settlement: Zack Media GmbH undertook to refrain from publishing such reports or to cover almost 2,000 euros in procedural costs and to pay 2,000 euros in compensation. According to “press” information, this has already happened.
Criticism of the commission’s report came from Supreme Court Chief Justice George Kodek on Friday. He was particularly offended by allegations of “double-layered justice”. He spoke to Ö1 about the “undifferentiated blanket assumption that must be clearly and decisively rejected”. The subject of inquiry is not the courts, but prosecutors.
Are paragraphs copied?
Codec considers many of the commission’s detailed recommendations to be “clever and sensible” but overlap in content with the anti-corruption referendum that Grudner launched in 2022. “Some central results agree word-for-word with the referendum demand at the time.” That creates an unfortunate image, says Codec. Grudner says the panel had several members and all recommendations were unanimous.
