A Vienna court on Friday sentenced a former Austrian finance minister, Karl-Heinz Grasser, to eight years in prison in the country’s biggest corruption trial since World War II.

“Only Grasser could have passed on information” to the winning consortium, judge Marion Hohenecker said. Heinz Mayr, former head of the law faculty at Vienna University who has followed the trial, said the defendants’ attempts to explain the events surrounding the deal at times seemed “very far-fetched”.One of these explanations, highlighted in the verdict, was Grasser’s claim that the 500,000 euros he had deposited in cash at Vienna’s Meinl Bank — which filed for bankruptcy this year after it was accused of laundering more than $500 million euros — had been gifted to him by his mother-in-law.
