Austria's former chancellor Sebastian Kurz has been sentenced to eight months of probation for making false statements, the Vienna Regional Court decided today.

According to the decision, Kurz made false statements to a parliamentary investigative commission.

The court said the evidence showed that Kurz had exerted a greater influence on the appointment of the supervisory board of the state company "Holding Öbag" than he had admitted before the Ibiza parliamentary committee.

Kurz told the commission in 2020 that he had been aware of the events but had not actively intervened.

In the case of the appointment of Kurz's former confidant Thomas Schmid as the head of "Holding Öbag", the judge acquitted the former leader of the charge of making false statements.

The trial was followed with great interest in Austria. The Alpine republic is facing a difficult election year, with local and regional elections, European elections and parliamentary elections expected to take place at the end of September.

The conviction of Kurz, a popular figure as chancellor and leader of the ÖVP, is likely to provide "defense tools" for the election campaign for his political opponents.
