Translated
Erik Prince (53) was head of the infamous US mercenary force Blackwater. He is considered the intimate of Donald Trump and Muhammad bin Zayid Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of the United Arab Emirates. And moves on the international stage only in the most elite circles.
In Austria, a free place in the dock is soon waiting for the billionaire. Prince is one of five people who the Wiener Neustadt Public Prosecutor's Office quotes in court. The prosecution authority has on the 20th. April filed a criminal complaint according to paragraph 7 of the War Material Act, confirms authority spokesman Erich Habitzl to the KURIER.

If there's any justice left in the world, Viktor Bout will be nabbed again and then the two of them can be bunkies.
National armies are a necessary evil. Private armies and the men who supply them are just evil.

(Go back and read it, I neede a refresher, too. So much shit here.

The U.N. is continuing its investigation, and the FBI has been asking questions about Princes involvement in the Jordanian deal and his connections to the Libyan conflict. (The FBI cannot confirm the existence of an investigation into Mr. Prince, a spokesperson told The Intercept.) If the U.N. Sanctions Committee approves the reports findings, Prince would face a travel ban and have his bank accounts frozen. At least four countries have opened criminal probes into the alleged Libya plot as a result of the U.N. investigation, according to a Western official.

I'm shocked Desantis isn't using him as an example of what fine citizens Hillsdale College produces.

And I believe the name of Blackwater has been changed a few times.
Academi, formerly known as Blackwater, is an American private military contractor founded on December 26, 1996, by former Navy SEAL officer Erik Prince. It was renamed Xe Services in 2009, and was again renamed to 'Academi' in 2011, after it was acquired by a group of private investors.

(4,436 posts)Is whether they have him in custody, or whether that is just a symbolic indictment in abstentia because he isnt physically inside Austria. No details about the actual transaction charged, or why Austria is the one charging if hes not on Austrian soil.
Or maybe he is. It doesnt say.
Since the link is written in German, we can't know if Austria's Interpol issued a red notice, either. The indictment might also be a warning that something is afoot from the U.S. Austria is not as clean as it presents itself. You may infer that I don't trust Austria.

(6,594 posts)Prince is a dirty Rat. The meeting took place around Jan. 11 nine days before Trumps inauguration in the Seychelles islands in the Indian Ocean, officials said. Though the full agenda remains unclear, the UAE agreed to broker the meeting in part to explore whether Russia could be persuaded to curtail its relationship with Iran, including in Syria, a Trump administration objective that would be likely to require major concessions to Moscow on U.S. sanctions. Though Prince had no formal role with the Trump campaign or transition team, he presented himself as an unofficial envoy for Trump to high-ranking Emiratis involved in setting up his meeting with the Putin confidant, according to the officials, who did not identify the Russian.
Kushner was there, too.
The Abraham Accords, which the Trump administration touted as its signature foreign policy achievement, involved normalizing relations between Israel and a handful of Arab nations, including the UAE. Kushner and MBZ decided to let Erik have some contracts while they reordered the Gulf, the former intelligence officer told The Intercept.
Mr. Kushner has no knowledge of Mr. Princes contracts, Kushners spokesperson told The Intercept. Mr. Kushner has not even spoken or communicated with Mr. Prince since 2017, and any assertion otherwise is complete nonsense.
