Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht Cleared to Leave Austria as Court Lifts Restrictions

He still owes an €18,000 monetary penalty whose payment would formally close the case without a conviction.

Overview

  • The Landesgericht Innsbruck said Thursday that all measures were lifted after a request from his lawyer, with prosecutors agreeing to the move.
  • Authorities returned his passport and the €15,000 bail posted by his sister Cheyenne, restoring his freedom to travel and work.
  • The Innsbruck judgment requires €18,000 to be paid in installments, reported as six monthly €3,000 payments starting September 20, for the proceedings to be discontinued.
  • The case stems from an alleged unpaid hotel bill of roughly €14,000, which led to his June 25 arrest at Hamburg airport under a European arrest warrant and extradition to Austria.
  • Separately, reporting notes a legally effective Munich Strafbefehl from February over about €1,900 in unpaid Graz bills, with repayments enforced via daily rates.
