Overview
- Bavarian police notified Austrian authorities that 0.88 grams of cocaine were found on Teichtmeister after an Oktoberfest visit, prompting action for a probation violation.
- Judge Stefan Apostol ordered an immediate crisis intervention, and Teichtmeister was taken into Austrian custody for several weeks in a specialized forensic‑therapeutic facility, with the stay subject to extension.
- The court emphasized the measure is treatment‑oriented assessment rather than pre‑trial detention, and a forensic evaluation by psychiatrist Peter Hofmann will inform next steps.
- Outcomes under consideration include prolonging the intervention or revoking suspended terms that could lead to longer institutional placement, depending on the assessment.
- Lawyer Rudolf Mayer says it was a small amount for personal use and his client’s first breach, describing a one‑time relapse, while multiple outlets report a police officer observed drug use on a Wiesn toilet.
