Officials from the Office for the Protection of the Constitution will be conducting personal interviews on site in the coming week.

The case was initiated by the director of the Pinkafeld vocational school, who filed a complaint against the teacher. The investigations are running in parallel on a criminal and employment law level.

The pupils are said to have drawn the swastika in class using a template drawn by the teacher. In the wider context, there is also talk of possible political functions of the teacher.

The teacher is still presumed innocent. International media are now also interested in the case.
