ATTILA KISBENEDEK / AFP

Austria's Vice-Chancellor is in hot water.

Footage has emerged of Heinz-Christian Strache apparently offering government contracts in exchange for political support.

The video was shot just before Austria's general election in 2017.

It shows Strache talking to a woman who says she's a Russian investor.

Members of the coalition government held an emergency meeting on Friday.

A decision is expected to be made later on Saturday.
