Investigations against a retired teacher of Hubert Aiwanger, the chairman of the Free Voters, are back in the spotlight. Three years ago, a case against a suspected informant from the previously surfaced leaflet affair was closed. Now, the former teacher faces further trouble as new evidence has emerged.

In August 2023, an antisemitic leaflet, reportedly discovered in Aiwanger's backpack during his school years, drew public attention. The politician himself stated that his brother created the leaflet. However, this account may now be challenged by the testimony of a former student.

The ongoing investigations related to the leaflet and its content are therefore not concluded. Further legal actions could have serious consequences for the teacher, according to reports. The former student has apparently provided crucial information that led to the reopening of the investigation.
