The COFAG committee is entering its final rounds of questioning this week. Away from the business dealings of Tyrolean real estate juggler René Benko, the main question is whether billionaires close to the ÖVP were given preferential treatment in the payment of coronavirus subsidies. In any case, a well-known company in which an ÖVP mandatary holds ten percent has also benefited. He also happened to sit on the advisory board of COFAG. The "Krone" looked into the case.

The Detox, Fruit, Energizing and Green Juices from the Juice Factory at Vienna Airport are healthy and refreshing. Freshly brewed coffee and signature sandwiches round off the offer for air travelers at the airport. Although the airport is a hive of activity, the company behind the Factory slipped into financial turbulence. According to company register statements, losses amounting to around 864,000 euros had accumulated by 2019.
