Salzburg: Two festival directors are convicted of fraud
mainA Salzburg court has sentenced the former Easter festival director Michael De Witte and former technical director Klaus Kretschmer to just over three years in jail for a series of embezzlements. Both were ordered to make substantial repayments.
Neither is likely to serve time. De Witte is out of the country and Kretschmer is in frail health.
