I didn’t sleep. “I managed to get three per mille,” the 52-year-old said in a much conciliatory manner in the regional court of Vienna. In any case, he only drank three times a year.

The proceedings against him will be dismissed upon payment of a total of 400 euros. “Did you understand that?” says the judge. “Yes, yes, I’m sober today. Then I came away with another black eye.
