Shows signs of taking a step back temporarily - Taking a break, apparently, is what he's planning.
Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht, the German actor known for his roles in "The Wave" and "A Coffee in Berlin," has been released from prison in Innsbruck, Austria, following charges of serious fraud related to an unpaid hotel bill from 2021.
In a statement on Instagram, Ochsenknecht expressed his desire to return home and reconnect with his family, particularly his daughter Snow. He mentioned wanting to shave his beard after returning home, indicating a return to normal life.
Ochsenknecht is accused of committing fraud worth around €14,000. The Innsbruck Public Prosecutor's Office filed a criminal complaint against him, and he was extradited from Hamburg to Innsbruck for the legal proceedings.
Matthias Holzmann, Ochsenknecht's Austrian lawyer, confirmed the apology and stated that his client is doing well given the circumstances after his release. He also reported that Ochsenknecht has accepted responsibility for the incident and expressed remorse, which is part of the ongoing legal process.
However, no date has been set yet for the main hearing. Ochsenknecht has surrendered his passport to the court and is not allowed to leave Austria until the conclusion of the trial.
In his Instagram post, Ochsenknecht shared that he is taking a step back and intends to enjoy his private time. He also expressed gratitude for the support he has received and stated that he is strongly affected by the proceedings and the loss of freedom.
Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht has a three-year-old daughter named Snow from a previous relationship with Yeliz Koc. No further details were disclosed about Ochsenknecht's conversations with his daughter Snow, and no information was provided about the status of the case or his plans for the future.
This development comes after Matthias Holzmann, Ochsenknecht's lawyer, gave a statement to the "Kronen Zeitung" regarding the case. The Innsbruck Public Prosecutor's Office confirmed a bail of €15,000 was posted for Ochsenknecht's release.
As Ochsenknecht continues to face legal proceedings, fans and supporters will be eagerly awaiting updates on the case and his future plans.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I can answer if Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht, who is currently facing fraud charges, has expressed any interest in entertainment or mentioned celebrities during his discussions about his future plans, as no such information was provided in the article."
"Following his release from prison, it might be interesting for fans and supporters to speculate if Ochsenknecht, who is known for his roles in 'The Wave' and 'A Coffee in Berlin', might choose to entertain his followers on social media, discussing topics like entertainment or celebrities, as a means of connection during his restricted time in Austria."
