Overview

  • The Landgericht Innsbruck delivered the verdict after a roughly one‑hour expedited hearing on Friday.
  • Prosecutors pursued an aggravated fraud charge tied to a late‑2021 hotel invoice of about €14,000, which was settled only after his June arrest by ex‑partner Yeliz Koc.
  • In court he accepted responsibility for not paying, and reports say he disclosed about €10,000 in remaining debts and €670 in monthly child support.
  • He was arrested at Hamburg Airport on June 25 under a European arrest warrant, extradited to Austria in early July, and released on €15,000 bail with a travel restriction.
  • RTL reports he may pay the €18,000 over six months, with proceedings to resume if he fails to do so.
