Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht has been in custody since Wednesday-because of an open hotel bill of almost 14,000 euros. The sum has now been paid-by Ochsenknecht’s ex-girlfriend Yeliz Koc, with whom he has a daughter. The “Bild” newspaper reports.
A European arrest warrant of the Innsbruck public prosecutor’s office is available against Ochsenknecht. The reason: A New Year’s Eve in 2021 in the Tyrolean hotel “Sonne” – the bill, which amounts to 13,827.35 euros, was not paid.
Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht still in custody
How “Picture” writes that Ochsenknecht is said to have repeatedly put off the hotel boss Wilhelm Steindl-for example with the message: “Ah. I give my accountant Wieter. Have a lot around the ores at the moment.” (Typed error taken from the original, note of the editor) According to the report, the sum is now said to have been fully paid. However, the 33-year-old continues to sit at the Holstenglacis in Hamburg.
Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht in custody: Lawyer denied allegations
His lawyer spoke of a “cooperation with the hotel” – there were only disagreements about the costs. It has long since been installed that the advertisement was “disproportionate”.
In an Instagram story, Ochsenknecht tries to calm down: “There is a great misunderstanding. We are clarifying,” he wrote, provided with a heart emoji. Hotelier Steindl sees it differently: “The public prosecutor cannot be fooled. The right is the same for everyone.” In the event of a conviction for serious fraud, he expects a prison sentence. When Jimi Blue will be released from the custody, however, it remains to be seen.
