8 Aug 2025 Ronny Pecik (Unternehmer)Diversion: businessman Pecik pays around 60,000 EUR over benefits for a Finance Ministry secretary general AustriaGifts, hospitality and benefits €60,000

In the CASAG set of proceedings, the businessman was charged with having granted a head of cabinet and later secretary general at the Austrian Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF) benefits worth around 17,000 EUR (use of luxury cars, tailor-made suits) in order to obtain goodwill in official business. After he accepted responsibility, the proceedings were concluded with final effect by way of diversion (discontinuation without a conviction) against payment of around 60,000 EUR.

What organisations can take from it

Even benefits in kind to ministry officials, such as the use of cars or clothing, can be punishable as "Anfüttern" (grooming officials) – rules on gifts must also apply to owners.

How the radar is compiled

Official sources only

Every case is based on a decision, press release or database of an authority or a court. Press and law-firm reports count at most as additional references.

Four-eyes check

Whoever enters a case may not approve it. A second, independent check compares company, date, amount and area of law with the source. Only then is the case published.

Comparable amounts

Amounts are converted at the ECB reference rate on the day of the decision. Each case also shows the original amount.

Corrections on record

A correction is a new version that is checked again. Every change is logged. You can report errors directly on each case.

Case texts are translated from the German original. Where a translation is not yet available, the German text is shown and marked “(German original)”. Names of authorities, laws and companies are given as in the source.

The radar reports on published decisions and is not legal advice. Decisions that are not yet final are marked as such where the status is known.
