Commerzialbank trial
Money rules the world in the Mattersburg microcosm
Three entrepreneurs are said to have profited from Martin Pucher's ingenuity. The damage amounts to 70 million euros. The mastermind stays away from the proceedings, his former deputy saves face.
On behalf of ex-Commerzialbank boss Martin Pucher (68), who is not fit to stand trial for health reasons, his former board colleague Franziska Klikovits has to spoon up the soup at the Eisenstadt regional court. All alone. The chairwoman of the panel of lay judges wants to know if she has any debts. "Yes, 800 million euros." The 59-year-old watched Pucher's dishonest activities for more than a quarter of a century. What's more, she played a key role in shifting money that was never there. She also always presented flawless balance sheets. The Burgenland native also admits this.
Cash in, cash out
Alongside Klikovits, three retired entrepreneurs are in the dock, who are alleged to have caused losses of 70 million euros. All three were almost insolvent umpteen years ago. Knowing that they were insolvent, Pucher approved loans. He gave them cash so that they could pay off the installments. In return, they issued fictitious invoices for income and dutifully paid the cash back. Pucher's hobbyhorse, SV Mattersburg, was also sponsored with a few of these millions.
Ten trial days have been scheduled. All four defendants face sentences of 1 to 10 years in prison.
