Tetron Affair

The Tetron Affair (German: Tetron-Affäre or Blaulichtfunk-Affäre) originated from the procurement of a new federal digital radio systems for authorities and emergency forces in the early 2000s in Austria and is one of the most notable corruption complexes in recent Austrian history.

It involved possible money laundering and commission payments to political functionaries around the procurement process, which was based on presumably manipulated tenders by the Austrian Ministry of the Interior between 2001 and 2003. The incidents surrounding the TETRON consortium consisting of Motorola, Alcatel and Telekom Austria, which was awarded with the final bid, have been the subject of numerous investigative and judicial proceedings and were gradually clarified over the course of the late 2010 years.
