Austria's conservative former chancellor Sebastian Kurz went on trial for perjury on Wednesday in a case separate from the corruption investigation that forced him from office but which could still influence his ruling party's electoral fate. Kurz, who denies all the allegations made against him, has quit politics yet the ruling coalition he formed with the left-wing Greens in 2020 remains in power. The case centres on whether Kurz lied to a parliamentary commission of inquiry when he testified in 2020 that as chancellor he was not involved in a decision to make a party ally head of Austrian state holding company OBAG.
VIENNA (Reuters) - Austrian anti-corruption prosecutors said on Tuesday they had dropped a bribery investigation into former conservative Finance Mini.
