The convicted former finance minister could benefit from the expansion of the electronically monitory house arrest up to 24 months before the expected attachment to the expected. Bondagebonders wants to make the flanking of the federal government possible more leisure activities.
The average stalk period in the electronically monitored house arrest is currently slightly more than four months – although a maximum of twelve months would be possible. The federal government wants to extend the possibility of the ankle union from 1 September for reasons of savings and to relieve prisoners up to 24 months before the expected attachment.
If half the penalty is accepted at Karl-Heinz Grasser, the former finance minister, who was sentenced to four years in prison in the Buwog affair, would already serve his sentence in the house arrest in September 2025. Who will then no longer be a house arrest interrupted for work, visits to the doctor and necessary errors.
Recommendations from working group from 2021
Parallel to the expansion, politicians plan flanking measures to attract the pedestrian union, which had already been proposed by the working group in 2021. “In the sense of re -socialization, it seems wise to enable the prisoners to perform leisure activities,” said the experts.
The reason is: surveillance would “experience particularly stressful and restrictive in a long period”.
Following these recommendations, the ankle killings must be made possible from September by daily external stay for social and sporting purposes. According to the accompanying accompanying law, an hour of ‘free’ outdoor residence is granted on Monday to Friday, three hours a day at the weekend. For the working group it is important to eliminate obstacles that lead to disadvantages in electronic supervision for convicted people in freedom.
“There must be an adjustment of times outside the accommodation, otherwise it can be assumed that there will be more and more waste or crises,” said the experts of the working group. The time when the reform, which has been discussed for years, is now being implemented is good for Grasser.
Only three months in the “Brick Staddle”
His time he actually spends in the Judiciary of Innsbruck, the “brick stadium”, should be drastically reduced – as the “Kroon” reported. When the Supreme Court returned the judgment of the first eight -year prison court in March to four years, it also had to be assumed that the former politician should actually sit around 20 months. With the short story it is now possible that he can exchange the bed in the detention room after just three months in the detention room.
From that moment on, thanks to the new leisure for the carrier of “Footsells”, he was also found in restaurants with extensive walking rounds with his dogs or on the sports field.
Deadline to start later in prison than expected
According to the Regional Hof van Vienna, Grasser does not have to be in prison – as originally was hurried to the media – on 28 May, but only on 7 June.
Why? It was only on 7 May that the legally convicted 56-year-old personally was sent to the request for the start of the prison. She was previously successfully sent to his defender Norbert Wess.
