Vienna (OTS) – Guilty verdict or acquittal? The trial against former Chancellor Sebastian Kurz and his former head of cabinet Bernhard Bonelli for suspected false statements before the Ibiza-U Committee is coming to an end at the Vienna Criminal Court. The presumption of innocence applies to everyone.
The relationship between politics and the judiciary is characterized by a constant tension between political decisions and the independence of jurisprudence.
The lines of conflict between the judiciary and politics have come more and more into focus in recent years. The main reason is the investigations by the Economic and Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (WKStA) against high-ranking politicians.
What consequences will the respective verdict have on the political landscape? What is the relationship between politics and the judiciary? Are the conflicts leaving the rule of law without a trace? What is the level of trust in the judiciary in other countries? What role does the media play in the public courtroom?
