Vienna, Austria (CNN)Austria’s Vice-Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache, from the far right Freedom Party, has resigned over allegations of corruption, just days before key European elections.
Germany’s Der Spiegel news magazine and Süddeutsche Zeitung daily newspaper published video on Friday of Strache appearing to offer government contracts to a woman who claimed to be a Russian investor and niece of an oligarch.
During a news conference on Saturday morning, Strache denied doing “anything against the law,” and labeled the allegations “a targeted political attack.”
