Munich, October 1st. The non-partisan historians’ commission “Bayern-Sumpf” presented the results of its four-year research work on Sunday. According to the final report, several “so-called scandals” in the country’s history must be “re-evaluated”, including the Amigo affair of 1993. According to the new findings, it was not Prime Minister Max Streibl (CSU) who gave a free holiday to Brazil at the expense of an industrialist made, but his brother Helmut Streibl. According to a telephone transcript that has only just been discovered, Helmut Streibl said in May 1993 Passauer Neue Presse: “I’m ashamed of this act and especially ask my brother for forgiveness. But it was a wonderful few weeks on the hacienda.”
The long-time CSU boss Franz Josef Strauß was also surprisingly exonerated in the Fibag, Starfighter, HS30, Spiegel, Zwick and Flick affair. According to historians, the sole responsible person in all cases was Franz Josef’s previously unknown brother Helmut Strauss, who still runs a gun shop in Rott am Inn to this day. The commission was also able to finally clarify that Max Strauss, the son of the CSU leader, did not receive any untaxed commissions for arms deals. “We have a case of self-incrimination by the German citizen Helmut Maxwell,” say the historians.
CSU General Secretary Martin Huber also described as “convincing” the historians’ conclusion that it was not Franz Josef Strauss, the candidate for chancellor, who lost the 1980 federal election, but his brother Helmut. “Dr. Franz Josef Strauß, just like Dr. Markus Söder, is undefeated in the field,” said Huber. There is also a spectacular twist in the CSU media affair from 2012. It was not CSU press spokesman Hans-Michael Strepp who tried to prevent reporting on the SPD party conference by calling ZDF, but rather his brother Helmut-Michael Strepp.
There are also new developments in the relatives affair from 2013. According to the commission, the former CSU parliamentary group leader in the state parliament, Georg Schmid, is completely innocent. His brother Helmut Schmid, nicknamed “Schüttel-Helmi”, admitted to illegally employing his siblings Herbert, Hademar, Hildegard and Hermine in his brother’s office. Meanwhile, the public prosecutor’s office announced that it was investigating the new suspect Helmut T. in the mask affair.
