Scheduled Court Hearing for Jimi Blue Ossenknecht Following His Arrest in Hamburg
Actor Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht Faces Trial for Alleged Fraud in Austria
Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht, a prominent actor known for his role in the series "Diese Ochsenknechts," is set to stand trial in Austria on August 22, 2025. The trial will address allegations of serious fraud related to unpaid hotel bills.
The charges stem from two incidents in 2021. Ochsenknecht is accused of failing to pay a hotel bill of approximately 14,000 euros in Tyrol, Austria, and an additional 1,900 euros from a restaurant bill in Graz. The Austrian authorities issued an international arrest warrant due to his persistent non-compliance with reminders and court orders[1][2].
Ochsenknecht was arrested at Hamburg Airport at the end of June 2025 and was extradited to Austria in early July 2025 without a prolonged legal dispute[1][2]. Despite repeated reminders, offers of installment plans, and court proceedings, Ochsenknecht did not pay the hotel bill. However, his ex-partner reportedly paid the outstanding 14,000 euros after his arrest[1].
The series "Diese Ochsenknechts," which is about the actor family, will also cover Ochsenknecht's legal issues in Austria. Filming for the second part of the fourth season began in March and is expected to continue until September[1].
The trial's outcome is not yet known, as it is scheduled for August 22, 2025. During his court appearance, Ochsenknecht told the judge that he would take responsibility for the matter but did not comment on the specific suspicions against him[1].
