Federal Administrative Court upholds suspension of LSE chief Angerer
Georg Angerer, head of the State Office for State Security and Extremism Prevention (LSE) in Salzburg, remains suspended from duty. The Federal Administrative Court rejected his appeal against the suspension, as reported by krone.at on Thursday. The decision is not yet final.
Angerer filed a complaint against his suspension in mid-April. The background involves numerous complaints from employees directed against him. The core allegations appear to involve mobbing.
The first serious accusations became public at the end of January. Initially, there was only talk of "operational discrepancies". In the course of the investigations, the allegations expanded to include matters relevant to criminal law.
According to the State Police Directorate, corresponding allegations have been made at 37 positions within the LSE. Some of these have also been examined externally by doctors. In addition to the internal investigation, the Federal Anti-Corruption Office in the Interior Ministry is looking into the allegations against the country's top state security official.
