Austrian corruption trial of industrialist Wolf and ex-finance minister Schelling set for October

The Wiener Neustadt Regional Court has scheduled a corruption trial against industrialist Siegfried Wolf and former Finance Minister Hans Jörg Schelling, starting October 20 with eleven hearing days through December 17. The WKStA alleges a 'corrupt agreement' involving Wolf, with Schelling charged with abuse of office. This marks a notable legal escalation in Austrian political corruption cases, though the outcome remains uncertain.
