A rip-off farce on Vienna's Marathonweg is entering the next round. Now the victims are being asked to pay a second time. 

At the beginning of the year, dozens of Viennese were sent letters by lawyers for possible interference with property. In order to avoid an expensive lawsuit, those affected were offered a settlement of 399 euros. Some received up to 40 such letters. The ÖAMTC and lawyers went on the barricades. The "Krone" reported several times.
