Court date scheduled for Jimi Blue Oxsenknecht following his arrest in Hamburg.
Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht, a popular German actor known for his role in the series "Diese Ochsenknechts," is currently facing legal troubles in Austria. The actor is accused of serious fraud related to unpaid bills, with the primary case involving an outstanding hotel bill of approximately 14,000 euros from a hotel in Tyrol, Austria[1][3][4].
According to reports, Ochsenknecht stayed at the hotel for several days at the end of 2021, but despite repeated reminders, installment payment offers, and court proceedings, he did not settle the bill[1]. This led to an international arrest warrant and his extradition from Germany to Austria to face trial.
In addition to the hotel bill, there is a related accusation concerning a 1,900 euro bill at the Miss Cho restaurant in Graz in 2021. Ochsenknecht allegedly partied there without carrying a wallet or credit card and gave an address for the bill to be sent later, but he never settled this bill either[1].
The trial is expected to take place on August 22 at Innsbruck Regional Court and is expected to last about an hour[3]. If convicted of fraud, Ochsenknecht could face a prison sentence.
It is worth noting that Ochsenknecht has admitted mistakes on Instagram and his ex-partner paid the outstanding hotel bill to help resolve part of the case[1]. The actor is currently living in Austria with his sister Cheyenne[5].
Despite these legal troubles, the fourth season of "Diese Ochsenknechts" is ongoing, with filming for the second part starting in March and set to continue until September[2]. However, it is not confirmed whether Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht's legal troubles will affect the series. An upcoming series is expected to feature the arrest and extradition of Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht[1][3].
