!!!Lucona-Skandal

Lucona Affair: 1977 the ship "Lucona" belonging to the Viennese 
coffeehouse owner U. Proksch was sunk in the Indian Ocean; six people 
lost their lives. The lawsuit in which Proksch was accused of 
insurance fraud lasted years. To clarify political connections, 
particularly to the Social-Democrats ("Club 45"), a parliamentary 
fact-finding committee was set up between 1988-1989, in the course of 
which the president of the Nationalrat, L.  Gratz, resigned. The trial 
against Proksch ended in 1992, he was found guilty of murder and was 
sentenced to life imprisonment.
