Around the Buwog trial against the former Finance Minister Karl-Heinz Grbader (FPÖ / ÖVP) and other defendants received new documents on weekends. "Standard" and "Ö1" cited a mail traffic from September 2009 shortly after the announcement of the Buwog case. In correspondence by mail, a tax accountant asked tax attorney Gerald Toifl when he could reveal Grbader's deposit, after which Toifl replied, "Not his, because he's dead, but Meischi, and we have to be creative. " On demand "How, how, creative?" came the answer: "Mausetot, so he can emigrate not very creative, the plan is already."

The relevance of investigation records for the process is still unclear. Grbaders' lawyer, Manfred Ainedter, said he's currently badyzing over 1,000 pages of documents. Grbad's defender sees no problem for his client.

Toifl defender Oliver Scherbaum said the conversation had nothing to do with Buwog's cause. He had gone to a warrant around the Swarovski family. Scherbaum also claims to find nothing incriminating in the police report.

Several defense lawyers asked the court to refrain from using these documents. The Senate chaired by Judge Marion Hohenecker has not ruled on the motions yet. The trial will continue – with a break of half a day on August 1 – only in mid-September.

The Prosecution accuses Grbader, Walter Meischberger, Peter Hochegger and Ernst Karl Plech of having privatized federal housing and rented the Linzer Terminal Terminal Terminal Damaged Cash Terminal. The accused rejected this, only Hochegger filed a partial confession
