On Thursday at 10 a.m., the last chapter in the judicial review of the era of former Finance Minister Karl-Heinz Grasser will be opened. The appeal proceedings regarding the sale of 60,000 federal apartments start at the Supreme Court (OGH) in the Vienna Palace of Justice. In December 2020, Grasser was sentenced to eight years in prison at the Vienna Criminal Court in a first-instance and non-final judgment.

Not Only Grasser Turned to the OGH

Four days are scheduled for the proceedings at the OGH, an earlier judgment is possible. This can range from an annulment of the 2020 jury panel's decision to a full confirmation. In addition to Grasser, former FPÖ Secretary General Walter Meischberger and lobbyist Peter Hochegger were also non-finally convicted in the criminal proceedings under Judge Marion Hohenecker, and they too have turned to the OGH.
