Kickl reported again for disregarding the mask requirement
A police spokesman confirmed the APA a report by the “Tiroler Tageszeitung” (Monday edition). Kickl has already been reported several times with such administrative ads.
The complaint against the preferred interior minister by the executive has now reached the magistrate, said director of the magistrate Gabriele Herlitschka. Kickl now faces a fine of up to 500 euros. A penal order for “non-compliance with the mask requirement” can be expected, which will be served on the FPÖ boss.
It is not the first time for Kickl that he has been prosecuted for non-compliance with corona measures. It was only in May that the authority applied for the FPÖ club leader to have his immunity lifted because he had not worn a mask at a rally on December 11 at Heldenplatz. In April of that year, Kickl was “extradited” for violating the corona rules at a rally in Vienna on March 6th.
38 reports of non-compliance with the mask requirement
At the demo in Innsbruck on January 9, 2022, at which around 6,000 people gathered, according to the police, and during which Kickl gave a speech at Landhausplatz, few participants adhered to the mask requirement. According to the report, Kickl was also seen in photos without a mask at times.
38 demonstrators were reported by the police officers for disregarding the mask requirement. Kickl was initially not there, so the “TT”. However, the Innsbruck police leadership initiated investigations against the FPÖ boss after the end of the demo and identified photos and videos. Witnesses were also questioned, including the police officers who were responsible for protecting Kickl during the demo.
