Report Finds Hochegger Fit Enough for Prison Sentence
Hochegger can no longer appeal this decision. Initially, Hochegger had received a postponement of his imprisonment due to a hip condition.
Hochegger Cited Medical Reasons
While former Finance Minister Karl-Heinz Grasser already began serving his prison sentence in the summer, the ex-lobbyists Walter Meischberger and Hochegger cited medical reasons that were supposed to argue against imprisonment. A decision on Meischberger's submission is apparently still pending.
Grasser was sentenced to four years in prison in the Buwog trial and the Terminal Tower Linz case for breach of trust and acceptance of gifts by officials, Meischberger to 3.5 years. The former lobbyist Hochegger was sentenced to 3 years - of which 2 years are suspended.
