The meeting turned out to have been a sting staged with intel know-how and equipment by unknown actors. The villa was fully wired for audio and video, producing roughly 20 hours of recordings between July 22 and 25, 2017, without Strache and Gudenus’ knowledge. During a vodka-fueled meeting, the politicians, the woman posing as Alyona Makarova and her companion, private detective Julian H., discussed a possible buyout of leading Austrian “Krone” newspaper, currently owned by German Funke publishing house, which has close ties to the ruling leftist German Social Democrat party.
For unknown reasons, these recordings were then withheld for two years, possibly in an attempt to blackmail Strache and Gudenus. During this time, the Freedom Party joined a government coalition

On May 17, five days before the EU elections, six selectively edited minutes of the video were released by Süddeutsche newspaper and Spiegel magazine …
Strache and Gudenus have consistently denied any wrongdoing and maintained they insisted any arrangements would have to be legal and on the level. Now, transcripts newly released by Austrian prosecutors seem to confirm that version of the story.
This is what happens when you accept the hospitality of jedis. The motivation seems to have been that the Austrian government weren't sufficiently open to migration (which drives Soros mental).
What do we know about the sting operation? It remains unclear who set up the carefully planned sting. Though filmed in July 2017, the video was only leaked to journalists at Der Spiegel and Süddeutsche Zeitung last week. The publications say they will not comment on the origin of the video in order to protect their sources, but they commissioned a certified Russian translator and IT forensics experts to verify its authenticity before publishing.
In his resignation statement on Saturday, Strache called the video “a honey trap stage-managed by intelligence agencies”, but also alluded to a controversial Israeli spin doctor with links to Austria’s centre-left Social Democratic party (SPÖ), and even the German satirist Jan Böhmermann, who had cryptically referred to “hanging out with FPÖ party colleagues at a Russian oligarch’s villa on Ibiza” in a broadcast in April. Böhmermann’s manager has confirmed the comedian knew of the video’s existence.
