Miles & More (Lufthansa, Austrian, Swiss, and other partners) - Austrian question

With apologies to Patron for posting something off the specific topic to M&More, but since this board is frequented by many Austrians and Germans, I think this is the best place to ask this quick question. Perhaps I may be allowed this short breach until I get the answer to my question and you can then lock the thread...???? Muchas gracias... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Question (related to Arnold's campaign for Governor):

Did Schwarzeneger renounce his Austrian citizenship when he became an American Citizen? I know that Austrian law allows dual citizenships with at least some countries (Canada comes to mind), and I assume that US law has the same option. But, does anybody know if Arnold currently holds both citizenships? Thanks.

Gaucho, do you know Frank Stronach, founder of Magna, the auto-supplier ? His real name was Frank Strohsack before the immigrated to Canada, founded his company and became one of the most successful and powerful entrepreneurs of all time. I think he holds two passports.

Nope... never heard of that doode. Like I say above, I know various cases of Austro-Kanadiers.... I just dont know if Arnold still has both.

I found a website which states that Arnold has both citizenships.

Mr. Stronach (I met him in person on his own golf course (http://www.fontana.at) near Vienna):

A moderator should move this thread to OMNI!
Please. I like the "clean" LH, * and luxury hotels forums.
