Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht Reflects on Month in Custody Ahead of Austrian Fraud Hearing

Released on €15,000 bail in Innsbruck, he used a Twitch livestream to lay bare press intrusions during his detention ahead of the August 22 hearing.

Overview

  • After surrendering his passport and posting €15,000 bail, Jimi Blue has been staying with his sister Cheyenne near Innsbruck.
  • He faces a fast-track hearing on August 22 at the Innsbruck court over allegations he failed to pay a €14,000 hotel bill in Tyrol despite the debt later being settled.
  • In his Tuesday Q&A on Twitch he recounted drone overflights that grounded his yard time, a press car chase during his transfer and how he used handwritten notes to process the experience.
  • Ex-partner Yeliz Koc covered the outstanding hotel charges but Austrian prosecutors have kept the fraud investigation open under local statutes.
  • Industry insiders have speculated he could join RTL’s Dschungelcamp in January 2026 even as he makes his debut on Are You The One – Reality Stars in Love today.
