High voltage: In the Palace of Justice, it will be decided on Monday whether the Court of Appeal confirms the culprit to false statements against former Chancellor Sebastian Kurz or not. Why the judgment trends is set for the course of the U-committee in parliament.
Heights and depths are often not far apart in life: Sebastian Kurz experienced the father happiness for the second time. On Monday the world looks different again. In the Vienna Palace of Justice, the Higher Regional Court (OLG) Vienna will discuss the appeal against the conviction for false statements in the Ibiza-U Committee. In February 2024, the former LVP party leader was sentenced to eight months. He reported a profession.
It will be shown on Monday whether the accusing statements are held. And that promises high tension. The legal question that the court must now decide is quite delicate.
Briefly was acquitted in two of the three charges. “Guilty” was shortly before Michael Radasztics because he reduced his involvement in the orders of the Supervisory State Council in 2019.
The former KanSelier, on the other hand, believes that he has explained the size of his integration sufficiently. However, he was interrupted in the U-Committee because his speaking time was over. He had no opportunity to explain his role in the occupation of top posts.
The truth said briefly, but not the whole …
Radasztics saw it differently and interpreted his statements as a false explanation – because for short not completely said. In clear language, this means that the judge believed that the truth said briefly, but not the whole truth. When the judgment was pronounced, the judge said that the issue of integration in the survey in the U-Committee would have to be briefly implemented 1.5 hours later.
This interpretation as a reason for the guilty judgment was a surprise. “I was not convicted because I said something wrong – but because the judge said I said too little. How can you punish someone who is interrupted in the middle of the answer? “Sebastian Kurz wonders the” Krone “.
On the other hand, there was an acquittal for Kurz in terms of the occupation of the Öbag board by Thomas Schmid.
Executive judgment
The decision on Monday can therefore be a trend input: for continuous studies aimed at many celebrities from politics and the business community and also the expiry of investigative committees in parliament. Because if there is a short time, this can also change the behavior of future information persons in the U-Committee.
By the way, after the verdict was pronounced, Judge Radasztics had caused many vertebrae. It was known that there was a final disciplinary conviction of the judge because he had passed information in no way to Peter Pilz.
This conviction was only published briefly after the guilty saying. Already at the start of the trial, Kurz’s lawyers submitted a request for bias, which was rejected by the judge himself.
