The trial of former chancellor and former ÖVP chairman Sebastian Kurz, who is accused of giving false testimony in the Ibiza-U committee, will start next Wednesday at the Vienna Regional Court. There is enormous interest in the proceedings against the 37-year-old former chancellor.
The hearing in the Grand Jury Courtroom has already been “reserved” for the final seat. Kurz had already asked for an acquittal in advance.
So far, three dates have been scheduled for the trial of a total of three defendants, until October 23. In addition to Kurz, former deputy party leader of the ÖVP Bettina Glatz-Kremsner and Kurz’s confidante and ex-cabinet head at the Federal Chancellery, Bernhard Bonelli, are on trial. They are also accused of making false statements.
Kurz had already demanded acquittal in a written counterstatement. His co-defendants are also expected to plead not guilty.
