Court Ends Anna Werner Friedmann Assault Case With Diversion, Clears Her of Harassment

The judge approved monetary terms that close the matter without a criminal conviction under Austria’s diversion system.

Overview

  • Bezirksgericht Neunkirchen disposed of the bodily injury proceeding through diversion, ending the case without a conviction.
  • Coverage differs on the financial terms, with Stern reporting a €2,100 fine and Krone estimating about €4,300 including compensation and expert costs.
  • The case stemmed from an August 2023 performance of Alma – A Show Biz ans Ende in Semmering in which Friedmann bit a colleague during a scene.
  • Friedmann told the court the performance was unusually intense, and her lawyer said alleged torch burns resulted from an accidental stumble.
  • The colleague reported the incident about a year later, and Friedmann remains active with a new role in ZDF’s Die Toten vom Bodensee and ongoing Netflix filming in Prague.
