No defamation
Proceedings against Lena Schilling discontinued
The accusations from her private circle have no criminal consequences for Green MEP Lena Schilling. The proceedings for defamation have been discontinued.
The Vienna Chief Public Prosecutor's Office came to the conclusion that the proceedings should be discontinued "due to a lack of initial suspicion". The Green Minister of Justice, Alma Zadić, had kept out of the case, it was emphasized. She had also not wanted to be informed about it.
Schilling was sued by a law student who argued that the voters had a right to know the truth.
Court hearing on Friday
However, the accusations against Schilling do not end there: the Bohrn Mena couple have filed an action for revocation. The hearing for this will take place next Friday at Vienna's Innere Stadt district court.
Schilling had already signed a cease-and-desist declaration in April after agreeing a settlement with the Bohrn Menas. The case centers on allegations by the couple that Schilling had falsely claimed that the husband had beaten his wife.
