August Wöginger Resigns Following
The court imposed a prison sentence and an unconditional fine. Prosecutors argued the case of office corruption was exceptionally well-documented. The case involved testimony from a star witness, a former general secretary. Wöginger resigned from his position as club chairman immediately following the verdict. The ÖVP party executive announced a new club chairman later that same evening.
