epa07586751 Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz arrives for a meeting with Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen at the Presidential office in Vienna, Austria, 20 May 2019. The meeting comes in the aftermath of Austrian Vice Chancellor and FPOe party leader Strache who on 18 May 2019 stepped down from his post, as he was caught in a corruption allegations scandal. German magazine 'Der Spiegel' and newspaper 'Sueddeutsche Zeitung' published on 17 May 2019 a secretly recorded video which appeared to show Strache in Ibiza, Spain, in July 2017, meeting an alleged niece of a unknown Russian oligarch who wanted to invest large sums of money in Austria. In return for election campaign donations, Strache is alleged to have promised public contracts in the event of his party joining the government. EPA/CHRISTIAN BRUNA
