With the presentations of Tyrolean real estate juggler René Benko and Herbert Kickl's trust agreement partner Thomas Sila, both pre-trial hearings will come to an end next week. Before the big appearances of their clients, the lawyers of the two are now trying to prevent at least the forced police appearances. What to expect around the appearances of Benko and Sila and their lawyers write. 

The regular rounds of questioning in both subcommittees are actually already over. Because two people, Tyrolean real estate juggler René Benko and Herbert Kickl's trust agreement partner Thomas Sila, have failed to appear several times for different reasons, the committees are going into extra time on the specially scheduled replacement days.
