Austria's former chancellor Sebastian Kurz has won his appeal against a conviction for giving false testimony to a parliamentary committee. Last year, Kurz was found guilty of perjury for giving false testimony to a parliamentary committee. But the first trial judge deemed that declaration false and ruled that Kurz had played a more active role. However in his appeal Kurz argued that the judge who had convicted him was biased. Speaking to reporters outside court on Monday, Kurz said the years of accusations against him had "now all collapsed".
