Simone Lugner, widow of the late construction magnate Richard Lugner, has been unexpectedly dismissed from her position at Lugner City, a shopping center founded by her husband.

Despite Richard's intentions for Simone to play a significant role in the business, she was informed of her termination without clear reasons, effective until November 15. The decision comes amidst a reorganization led by Richard's daughter, Jacqueline Lugner, who now heads the management.

Simone expressed her shock and disappointment, stating that she felt excluded from the start.

She plans to contest the dismissal, describing it as "unmoralisch" (immoral).

The Lugner City management has wished her well in her future endeavors, but the abrupt nature of the decision has left Simone and the public questioning the motives behind it.
