Read it:
Austria calls itself an island of the blessed. This book follows the money through the other Austria: a small-town bank whose deposits did not exist; a freighter sunk with six of its crew for the insurance; a province that guaranteed its bank's debts to eight times its budget; a commission on sixty thousand public flats; a vice chancellor filmed on Ibiza; a lawyer's laundering confession filed as foreigners' business; and an intelligence officer convicted, not finally, of spying for Russia. Covers Karl-Heinz Grasser and the BUWOG sale, Jörg Haider and Hypo Alpe Adria, Heinz-Christian Strache and the Ibiza video, Sebastian Kurz and the ÖVP polls affair, René Benko and Signa, Martin Pucher and Commerzialbank Mattersburg, Udo Proksch and the Lucona, Egisto Ott and Jan Marsalek, and Dmytro Firtash and RosUkrEnergo.
