The members of the Ibiza Committee of Inquiry will see well-known faces on Thursday. Finance Minister Gernot Flowers (ÖVP) is making his third round as an informant, and National Council President Wolfgang Sobotka, who is also the committee chairman, his second. Former ÖBAG boss Thomas Schmid has also formally promised to attend – but his attendance is unlikely.

Because Flowers is listed as a suspect in the case relating to Casinos Austria, his questioning is once again explosive. Sobotka will probably be asked again about the ÖVP-related “Alois Mock Institute”. Investigations into four complaints against the President of the National Council were discontinued in advance. An advertisement due to false statements that became known on Thursday could be used again for discussion in the U committee to care.
Also for the second time, ex-ÖBAG boss Schmid should be interviewed on Thursday. As it is said, he was not available in the end. In the event that he should not show up, the board of the tax office for fees, transfer taxes and gambling is charged as a substitute.
