Austria: ex-chancellor Sebastian Kurz convicted of false testimony. He received an eight-month suspended prison sentence at first instance, but announced he would appeal.
He is accused of having lied before a parliamentary committee by minimizing his role in the appointment of Thomas Schmid, one of his close friends at the head of a powerful public holding company. In Austria, interfering in an appointment process is not a crime in itself, but concealing the truth while being questioned under oath is punishable by three years in prison.
