The Austrian authorities have confirmed that a former chief executive and technical manager of the Salzburg Easter festival will begin jail sentences  of four and four and a half years this week.

Both were convicted of embezzlement.

Under Austrian law, a new prisoner cannot be named. Details can be found in past Slipped Disc reports.
