Jimi Blue Oxenknecht is accused of physically assaulting a local host in Grazer.
Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht, the renowned German actor, is currently embroiled in a legal controversy in Austria. According to recent reports, he is facing fraud charges related to an event he hosted in December 2021. The case is ongoing, and if convicted, Ochsenknecht could potentially face a prison sentence.
The venue for the event, though not explicitly named, is believed to be in Austria, possibly in the Graz area. The specific details of the fraud charges are not fully disclosed, but they may be connected to unpaid bills or financial disputes arising from the event.
There are no credible reports suggesting that Ochsenknecht will be extradited to Innsbruck. The actor was arrested at Hamburg Airport two weeks ago, but the complaint was sent to the Innsbruck District Court when he was to be extradited to Tyrol.
Separate from the Austrian fraud case, there have been reports regarding Ochsenknecht’s immigration status elsewhere, notably involving fraudulent statements on residency applications in another country.
Ochsenknecht has also been criticized in connection with a German documentary titled "Love Scam - Die Geschichte eines unglaublichen Betrugs," which aired in late June and early July 2025. However, this documentary is about a different fraud case and does not directly involve Ochsenknecht, though he has been referenced critically in related media coverage.
In a turn of events, it was reported that Ochsenknecht's ex-girlfriend Yeliz Koc paid the 14,000 euros bill from an Austrian hotel in 2021, but this does not change the fraud charge against him.
As the legal proceedings continue, Ochsenknecht may soon face trial for the fraud charge in Innsbruck. The establishments involved in the case are Miss Cho restaurant and Katze Katze bar, which belong to the Aiola group, but they are not involved in the current fraud case in Graz.
