Austria's Vice-Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache has been filmed appearing to offer government contracts in exchange for political support.
The video, filmed secretly shortly before Austria's election in 2017, shows Mr Strache speaking to a woman who claims to be a Russian investor.
Mr Strache also appears to hint at a potentially illegal donation system for the far-right Freedom Party he leads.
In the footage, the woman says she is the niece of a powerful Russian oligarch. She offers to buy a 50% stake in Austria's Kronen-Zeitung newspaper and switch its editorial position to support the Freedom Party.
In exchange, Mr Strache said he could award her public contracts, explaining that he wanted to "build a media landscape like Orbán", a reference to Hungary's far-right prime minister.

Well, do you expect the Far Right to keep to acceptable methods? we'll be content if they don't do remakes of KristallNacht or the Night of Long Knives...

ouch, I'm glad I'm not one of them... then again, you'd never see me in Ibiza, not my kind of merry making.
