Understanding arrived: Grasser and Meischberger must...

The ex-minister and his best man are said to have been informed by the court about their entry into custody.

Karl-Heinz Grasser must be detained in the Innsbruck Judicial Institute within four weeks. The fact that he has to serve the full sentence of four years is considered unlikely.

Former Finance Minister Karl-Heinz Grasser, former FPÖ General Secretary Walter Meischberger, and former lobbyist Peter Hochegger must begin serving their prison sentences in the Buwog case within one month. Their legal representatives have received the relevant notices from the judiciary, Vienna Regional Court spokesman Daniel Rechenmacher confirmed to APA a report in the "Standard" (online edition).
