Appenzell publican to face court on five charges
A publican from the Appenzell region must answer to the district court in the canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden in November. The state prosecutor has brought charges against the man for five different criminal offences and is seeking a custodial sentence of 18 months. This is reported by the St.Galler Tagblatt, cited by LEADER Digital. The defendant is presumed innocent.
The source provides no details on the individual charges. The trial is scheduled to take place in autumn before the district judge. The person in question operates a hotel in the region and is known there as a businessman.
The prosecution apparently has sufficient evidence for a main hearing. The report does not indicate whether the requested sentence is to be conditional or unconditional.
