From waste of money, silence and the U-Committee as a "persecution tool"

The article discusses a meeting related to the Pilnacek investigation committee, where a prosecutor from Eisenstadt was questioned about whether new investigations were needed. The prosecutor confirmed that no further action would be taken, based on previous conclusions by the Krems prosecutors who had ruled out third-party liability after Pilnacek's death in October 2023. FPÖ leader Christian Hafenecker criticized ÖVP member Andreas Hanger for referring to the committee as a 'waste of money' and told him to keep quiet.
