Austrian Chancellor sees growing chance for cancelling Eurofighter contract
Austrian Chancellor Alfred Gusenbauer said on Monday that newly reported irregularities might provide the Austrian government with the opportunity to cancel its Eurofighter order.
It has been revealed that EADS lobbyist Erhard Steininger paid the advertising company of the wife of Austrian Maj. Gen. Erich Wolf €87,600 (US$117,700) in 2002 after the contract was signed.
Wolf was temporarily suspended from duty Tuesday because of the controversy.
