Rene Benco: The bankrupt billionaire rebuilt the Blue Grotto of Capri entertainment
His luxurious madness knows no bounds!
Bankrupt billionaire René Benco (47) went so far in his pursuit of pomp and splendor that he recreated the famous Blue Grotto of Capri in his huge castle hotel (about 6,000 square meters in total) in Eglis (near Innsbruck/Tyrol).
He bought the luxury property in 2016 for around €11 million through the specially established Schlosshotel Igls Betriebs GmbH & Co KG.
BILD knows the numbers, data and facts about this huge underground wellness area, the dimensions of which no ordinary person can imagine.
The diameter of the front bath is 30 metres, while the cave itself is 15 metres. About 3,000 square meters of artificial rocks were installed! Two chattering waterfalls create an atmosphere of absolute comfort in the artificial blue cave. According to BILD information, the cost of the artificial rocks alone is more than two million euros.
Other incredible numbers: the garage is 35 meters long with a 1.5 meter thick reinforced concrete roof. 180 deep wells were constructed to generate geothermal energy with a depth of up to 150 metres. Underfloor heating is installed throughout.
The staircase at the entrance resembles the staircase of the White House in Washington, and there are two outdoor swimming pools in the area.
An insider who was there during construction work on the Benko Blue Grotto told BILD newspaper: “It's amazing. Money played no role for him at that time. His tiled walls and floors were torn out and replaced several times if he didn't like something.
Furthermore: “Benko also personally checked the construction progress on weekends, but did not speak to the simple worker.”
The former real estate kingpin has now fallen hard and his company Signa Holding GmbH has gone bankrupt.
The luxury villa and grotto have been seized by the Republic of Austria, and the late construction tycoon is said to owe the Vienna tax office around twelve million euros.

France’s strategy for delivering missiles to Ukraine
He presses
France recycles missiles for Ukraine. A process that makes the use of old inventories possible. The state also benefits economically.
Paris – Transforming the old into the new: It is clear that France also discovered this strategy and thus turned its arms shipments to Ukraine into a profitable deal for both sides. The so-called Operation Chrysalis, named after the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly, allows support to be provided to Ukraine without emptying its strategic reserve.
According to, they will be used in Operation Chrysalis Radio France International (RFI) Scalp cruise missiles stored in “cocoons” in French arsenals. There are two types of them: The first: intact missiles that have reached the end of their lifespan. The second is the “disassembled” missiles, parts of which have been removed for use in other Scalp missiles.
Four times cheaper than new cruise missiles: reprocessed scalp missiles for Ukraine
The missiles are scheduled to be used in… Ukraine war It was returned to French production sites to be commissioned and tested within approximately three months. Tests were simplified due to their timely use against Russia. “It is a very economical approach, as the scalps pulled from the cocoons become ‘scrap’ anyway. [Vernichtung] It has been identified,” he said Radio frequency source.
In January, the President of France. Emmanuel MacronHe announced the delivery of „forty Scalp missiles” to Kiev. Process Chrysalis is said to have begun around this time. Sources revealed to Radio frequency This procedure indicates that the costs of one missile can be divided into a quarter compared to newly produced missiles. Chrysalis aims to be loud Radio frequency It will be completed this year, so the stocks will likely be used.
Scalp and Storm Shadow missiles are valuable for Ukraine – France wants to maintain strategy with export versions
French authorities are also searching for other ammunition, such as artillery shells or surface-to-air weapons. Another approach is to purchase Scalp missiles in the „export version” and then reprogram them so that the mission preparation can also be done via French computers.
According to the Polish news site Bolon Scalp missiles of the export version have been imported from India, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Greece, for example. A source said the best scenario was “a direct sale to Ukraine with a new missile buyback behind it.” Radio frequency. „This is amazing!”
Scalp cruise missiles, also known as Storm Shadows, are the British-French equivalent of the Taurus missiles. However, these missiles have a range of only 250 kilometers, about half the range of the Taurus missiles. However, the Kremlin has seen a surge in Scalp missile supplies. For example, Ukraine used missiles to strike the Russian Black Sea Fleet near Crimea or the Russian vehicle fleet in Crimea. (word)

An American destroyer crosses the South China Sea and China intervenes
He presses
China is angry: The US destroyer USS Halsey entered Chinese territorial waters „without permission.” The US Navy waves it off.
BEIJING – Against the backdrop of increasing tensions in the South China Sea China On Friday, the United States responded with sharp words to the passage of a US Navy ship near a group of disputed islands. Military spokesman Tian Junli said on Friday that “the US actions seriously violate China’s sovereignty and security.” Thus, the United States creates “security risks in the South China Sea” and is “the greatest destroyer of peace and stability in the region.”
According to military spokesman Tian, the missile destroyer USS Halsey entered Chinese territorial waters near the Xisha Islands “illegally and without permission from the Chinese authorities.” „Xisha Islands” is the Chinese term for the Paracel Islands. China sent naval and air forces to „track and monitor” the ship „in accordance with laws and regulations” and „issued an alert to redirect it away.”
Tensions in the South China Sea: US confirms passage of USS Halsey
The US Navy confirmed the ship’s passage, saying it „asserted navigational rights and freedoms in the South China Sea near the Paracel Islands.” “Unlawful and extensive maritime claims in the South China Sea pose a serious threat to freedom of the seas,” she said.
China has established a number of military bases on the Paracel Islands, although Vietnam and Taiwan also claim sovereignty over the island chain. The United States and its allies frequently send warships to the region to bolster their claim to freedom of passage.
Meanwhile, Taiwan’s air force conducted a military exercise in the Penghu Islands, which are located a few kilometers from the Chinese coast and are administered by Taiwan. Several fighter jets fired live ammunition, including missiles and US-made laser-guided bombs, according to video footage distributed by Taiwan’s military news agency. These were „routine training” for fighter pilots in which they practiced their „skills in precision strikes in air combat.”
The exercises come ten days before the inauguration of Taiwan’s new president, Lai Ching-te, who won the elections last January and whom Beijing describes as a „dangerous separatist.”
China increases its pressure on Taiwan
China views Taiwan as a breakaway province that should be reunited with the mainland – by military force if necessary. In recent years, China has increased its pressure on Taiwan, regularly sending fighter jets and warships near the island.
Meanwhile, the Philippines and the United States concluded joint military exercises in areas near disputed maritime areas. Exercises Balikatan („Shoulder to Shoulder” in the language widely spoken in the Philippines, Tagalog) began on 22 April and also involved one hundred Australian soldiers. (AFP)

Graves containing hundreds of bodies were found near Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis and Al-Shifa Hospital in recent weeks. The UN Security Council is now demanding that investigators be given unfettered access to conduct an investigation.
The UN Security Council in New York demands clarifications about the mass graves discovered in the Gaza Strip. The United Nations said, „Members of the Security Council stressed the need for accountability for violations of international law and called for allowing investigators unhindered access to all mass grave sites in Gaza.”
The UN’s most powerful body has been deeply concerned about the discoveries since the end of April. Graves containing several hundred bodies have been found near Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis and Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City in recent weeks.
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, was horrified at the time and called for an independent investigation into the deaths. Hospitals enjoy very special protection under international humanitarian law. According to Türk’s office, which cited information from Civil Defense, which is controlled by the armed Hamas movement, some of the bodies had their hands bound.
Israel denies these accusations
The European Union also called for an independent investigation. Peter Stano, spokesman for European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, said: “This is something that prompts us to demand an independent investigation into all suspicions and all circumstances.” The impression was created that “violations of international human rights may have occurred.”
The Israeli side said that the allegations that Israeli forces buried the bodies of Palestinians there were baseless. Israeli soldiers only examined the bodies in the grave, looking for Israeli hostages.
