A Vienna court found Austria's ex-vice chancellor and former far-right leader Heinz-Christian Strache not guilty on Tuesday in a retrial of a corruption case relating to party donations by the owner of a private clinic.
Strache, who resigned from government in 2019 in a separate corruption scandal, was originally handed a 15-month jail sentence in 2021 for graft, only for a higher court to order retrial because text message exchanges that suggested he was innocent had not sufficiently been taken into account.
