Former Austrian chancellor Sebastian Kurz found guilty by Austrian Court

epaselect epa11175991 Former Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz gives a statement after the verdict in his trial at a courtroom in Vienna, Austria, 23 February 2024. Sebastian Kurz was given an eight-month suspended sentence for making false statements. The Austrian Economic and Corruption Prosecutor's Office accused former chancellor Kurz and former cabinet chief at the Chancellery Bernhard Bonelli of having given false testimony as a respondent in the 'Ibiza-gate' Parliamentary Committee of Enquiry in 2021 and 2022, as well as statements made in the preliminary investigation, an offense punishable by up to three years of 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.
