Both had been transferred to police inspections, said a spokesman for the APA head of government. These are consequences under service law after disciplinary proceedings. The officials are specialists in fighting terrorism, so they should be held accountable for their actions, the Chancellor said on the Ö3 program “Frühstück bei mir”. Reports circulating on Sunday that the two were said to have been terminated, he rejected as false to the APA. “There were legal consequences, the officers left the Cobra, but continue to work for the police.”
The public prosecutor’s office (StA) Korneuburg has initiated investigations into “at least one person known by name” in the Cobra affair. In an anonymous letter, allegations were made that Nehammer could have intervened in order to cover up what was happening, which the chancellor himself repeatedly dismissed as untrue.
