VIENNA — Several high-ranking Vienna police officials face disciplinary action for holding an after-hours party at a restaurant that featured a stripper dressed as a young girl in pigtails, authorities said Sunday.
Karl Mahrer, commander of the force in the Austrian capital, said he ordered a disciplinary review after the officials celebrated with the stripper on at least three occasions while off-duty.
Witnesses said the officials gathered at a Vienna restaurant, where they arranged for the striptease to be performed from behind a makeshift curtain that shielded their table.
Vienna’s police department has been stung by a series of scandals.
Last month, a senior officer was convicted of abuse of power for ordering a raid on a casino to remove dark-skinned guests. Another was convicted of criminal charges for alerting a brothel to an impending police raid.
