On 22 April 2010, the public prosecutor´s office in Klagenfurt issued a warrant
for the arrest of Dr. Wolfgang Auer-Welsbach, member of AvW Invest AG´s
Management Board. Subsequently, Dr. Auer-Welsbach was arrested on the afternoon
of 23 April 2010. The investigations initiated against Dr. Auer-Welsbach are
based, inter alia, on suspicions of fraud, corruption and offences under
financial criminal law. The arrest was justified on the basis of the suspect
posing a flight risk, the risk of evidence being destroyed and the possibility
of further crimes being committed.
