VIENNA (Reuters) - A judge questioned Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz for hours this month as part of an investigation by anti-corruption prosecutors into whether Kurz gave false testimony to a parliamentary commission, Kurz said on Wednesday.

Kurz could be charged with perjury as a result of the investigation, which began in May. He denies any wrongdoing.
