The fatal ship accident: two Syrians in court!
A shattering court judgment in Vienna illuminates the dark side of the refugee crisis: two Syrian men, 27 and 29 years old, are on trial because they were supposedly part of a criminal organization that enabled hundreds of compatriots to enter the EU. According to Kleine Zeitung , the accused tugs were suspected of promoting five people on a crowded cutter. During the catastrophic crossing, which took place without water and food, the refugees took place in a painful state. Only one of the five survived after the boat capsized in the Mediterranean and drowned most passengers.
irregular asylum procedure and financial fraud
In another scandal, a 62-year-old Syrian is on trial, who has applied for almost a decade of state minimum security of 197,340 euros. He lived in a refugee accommodation in Oberwart and stated that they had fled from Syria due to the war. But as , a Turkish passport was discovered, which raised questions about the correctness of his asylum sayings. The public prosecutor accuses him of having given the authorities incorrect information about his citizenship.
The accused emphasizes that he is right in Austria and received the support that he is entitled to. He states that he had never been illegal and defends himself against the allegations. The judge's judgment is still pending because the continued procedural status of his asylum could influence the decision. Both cases throw a bright light on the challenges and legal gray areas in dealing with asylum seekers and the refugee status in Austria. The courts are under pressure to make fair judgments while the social tensions increase.
