Police investigate

Causa Hinteregger: The association’s verdict is in!

Lard for ex-football star Martin Hinteregger! According to the video (see above) and eyewitnesses, the coach of lower-league club Sirnitz allegedly knocked over a fan at an away match in Mittlern. "Hinti" has now been sanctioned for this by the Carinthian Football Association's punishment committee. And because the victim has filed a complaint with the police, an investigation is now underway on suspicion of assault. The presumption of innocence applies.

The Criminal Committee (STRAFA) of the Carinthian Football Association (KFV) has met - and provisionally suspended former ÖFB star Martin Hinteregger. Because, according to a video and eyewitnesses, the coach of lower league club Sirnitz allegedly knocked over a fan during a match in Mittlern.

STRAFA chairman Klaus Haslinglehner explains: "We have interrupted the proceedings and provisionally suspended him, as criminal charges are still pending against him. Until a verdict is reached, Mr. Hinteregger is not allowed to carry out his function as a coach or player at SGA Sirnitz matches." Hinteregger himself did not want to comment.

Interrogation to follow soon
Because "Hinti" is facing even more trouble! The police are investigating him because the victim has filed a complaint. "Yes, that's right. A complaint has been filed and the suspected suspect is also being questioned - that's normal procedure. All this on suspicion of assault," Mario Nemetz, press spokesman for the Carinthian regional police directorate, explained to the "Krone". Hinteregger is presumed innocent.
