Geht das Match ÖVP gegen Justiz in die nächste Runde? 01.09.2026

Der Streit zwischen der ÖVP und der Justiz, der bereits die türkis-grüne Koalition belastete, flammt unter der neuen Justizministerin Anna Sporrer (SPÖ) wieder auf.

Die ÖVP kritisiert die Entscheidung der Wirtschaftskorruptionsstaatsanwaltschaft (WKStA), Schmid diesen Status zuzuerkennen, und stellt die Rechtmäßigkeit des Vorgehens infrage. ÖVP-Justizsprecher Klaus Fürlinger hat mehrere parlamentarische Anfragen an Sporrer eingebracht, um die Verantwortung für diese Entscheidung zu klären. Experten wie Strafrechtsprofessor Robert Kert sehen darin den Versuch, Informationen über den Fortgang des Verfahrens zu erhalten.
