Grasser and Co. has been in court for almost three years

On the 168th day of Grasser’s trial, it will finally come to an end. After the arguments of defense attorneys and prosecutors, the defendants will have the opportunity to “have the last word” on Thursday, as it is legally correct. The defendants have assured Judge Marion Hohenecker that they will be brief. The last act of the jury senate is then the trial. This should follow a Friday in November or the first Friday in December.
This means that almost three years of main negotiations in a corruption process that began in December 2017 will come to an end. One defendant has already died.
Of the twelve lay judges who were initially there, five are still there; two lay judges are required for a trial, otherwise the trial would have broken out. A conclusion of the Buwog case (suspicion of corruption against former finance minister Karl-Heinz Grasser and others), as well as other charges, should not be the verdict, observers of the trial assume that the process, regardless of how it ends, will go to the next instance.
