AUSTRIA TRIAL KURZ

Trial of former Austrian Chancellor Kurz begins in Vienna

epa10925052 Former Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz (L) and former cabinet chief at the Chancellery Bernhard Bonelli (R) arrive at a courtroom of the Regional Court in Vienna, Austria, 18 October 2023. The Austrian Economic and Corruption Prosecutor's Office accused former chancellor Kurz, former cabinet chief at the Chancellery Bernhard Bonelli, and former vice leader of the OeVP party Bettina Glatz-Kremsner, of having given false testimony as respondents in the 'Ibiza-gate' Parliamentary Committee of Inquiry in 2021 and 2022, as well as for statements made in the preliminary investigation, with the offense being punishable by up to three years imprisonment. The 'Ibiza-gate' scandal brought down the right-wing coalition government in Austria in May 2019, when a video emerged of former Vice Chancellor Heinz Christian Strache and several other people, filmed in a villa on the Spanish island of Ibiza.
