💨 Abstract

Austrian prosecutors have asked parliament to lift the immunity of Freedom Party leader Herbert Kickl, alleging he committed perjury testifying to a parliamentary committee about advertisements paid for by his party. The request was sent to parliament's speaker, who is also from Kickl's party. Kickl's party denies the allegations, and the prosecutors' office said it is not investigating Kickl at the moment.
