Powerful Carinthian woman

Every court judgment is presented to this woman

An acquittal? A conviction? A sentence in a trial too high or too low? The head of the public prosecutor's office decides how to proceed in such cases. In Carinthia, this is the first time that all court verdicts have landed on a woman's desk: Tina Frimmel-Hesse on men, abuse and power.

It was a close race in which a woman prevailed for the first time in Carinthian judicial history: Top lawyer Tina Frimmel-Hesse is now in charge of the Klagenfurt public prosecutor's office - and has more power than outsiders realize. "Some people may still be puzzled by my decision," she says with a smile. "But the men will have to take note of that."
