Meanwhile, everyone involved has a certain routine: after all, it is the fourth appointment at the Vienna Regional Court of Criminal Affairs. Even if this time wearing a mask for the first time.
Green club president Sigi Maurer will be standing in front of the judge in room 203 starting at 10 o’clock for defamation and credit damage It has been more than two years since Maurer posted two Facebook messages she received. She was sued for this.
And since then, a lot has happened politically on the subject. Recently, Maurer and Justice Minister Alma Zadic presented the online anti-hate package, which is currently being evaluated. “Proud,” Maurer says in a video she posted a few days ago. In the future, this should make it easier to defend against hate on the Internet, including patronizing news.
Maurer himself no longer does anything. But he hopes to be acquitted.
Trial annulled
In the first trial she was found guilty and sentenced to a 7,000 euro fine; however, the higher regional court overturned this ruling. The procedure had to be repeated.
Bierwirt L., who had sued a bricklayer, reported a collapse in the business since his name was published. He denies writing the news, blaming his guests. It has not yet been clarified who really was the author of the message.
With the help of his attorney Adrian Hollaender, he also sued Maurer for a court order. The politician had called him an “asshole.” These proceedings are pending in the Josefstadt District Court.
