- René Benko received a 24-month unconditional prison sentence for damaging creditors through a gift to his mother, according to a lay court.
- Benko was acquitted on the second charge concerning a rent prepayment, as the villa was deemed habitable and the rent justified.
- The fraudulent damage was precisely calculated at 300,000 euros, leading to a more lenient sentencing range.
- Following the verdict, Benko was immediately remanded to custody, with both defense and prosecution granted three days to consider appeal options.
We know that every cellar in Innsbruck costs 1000 euros.— Judge Andrea Wegscheider explains that the claim by the public prosecutors regarding the uninhabitability of the villa is not true.
