There is still no peace at the district administration of Lienz. Following the dismissal of district governor Olga Reisner in April, a senior civil servant has now reportedly been suspended. 

"The start of the year at the Lienz district authority was quite turbulent - it was and is all the more important to quickly maneuver the district authority back into calm waters and to strengthen the trust of local staff and the population in the continued good functioning of the Lienz district authority," emphasized LH Anton Mattle at the inauguration of the new district governor Bettina Heinricher in August.

The Province of Tyrol can confirm that investigations are currently being carried out into the employment and disciplinary status of an employee of the Lienz BH and that this employee has been provisionally suspended.

Province confirms suspension
Just three months later, the authority is back in the headlines. As the state of Tyrol confirmed at the request of the "Krone", an employee is said to have been suspended. "The province of Tyrol can confirm that investigations are currently being carried out under employment and disciplinary law with regard to an employee of the BH Lienz and that this employee has been provisionally suspended."

We also ask for your understanding that no further statements can be made due to the ongoing investigations. According to initial information, it is said to be the head of the district forestry inspectorate. The presumption of innocence applies.
