He was the shining light of the conservatives in Austria.
Then investigations by the public prosecutor's office forced him out of office.
Vienna - Austria's former chancellor Sebastian Kurz has been sentenced to a suspended sentence of eight months for making false statements.
In its ruling, the Vienna Regional Court considered it proven that Kurz had exercised greater influence in the appointment of the supervisory board of the state holding company Öbag than he had admitted to the Ibiza investigative committee.
