Overview

• The Innsbruck regional court scheduled the hearing for 9:30 a.m. local time with a verdict expected after about an hour, according to dpa.
• The case centers on a roughly €14,000 bill from a late‑2021 stay at a Tirol hotel that remained unpaid even after a civil judgment.
• Ochsenknecht was arrested in late June at Hamburg Airport on a European arrest warrant, extradited to Austria, and later released on €15,000 bail.
• Prosecutors classify the matter as serious fraud carrying a possible fine or up to three years in prison, saying later payment may only mitigate if he is convicted.
• The outstanding invoice was paid shortly after the arrest, reportedly by his ex-partner, as the actor continues to appear in reality programming filmed before his detention.
