FPÖ boss Nepp demands: Clear line against clan crime in Vienna!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - On December 10, 2024, an incident in Vienna, especially in Floridsdorf, made headlines when the FPÖ boss Dominik Nepp denounced the clan crime of a Syrian family. NPP unequivocally demanded the immediate deportation of all family members: "It cannot be that they are on our streets like the wild, cars set fire to fire and threaten people," said the politician. Andreas Nepp is of the opinion that the security authorities have now lost control of the situation and criticized both the ÖVP and the SPÖ because of its alleged failure in security policy. The constant increase in clan crime, especially through groups from Syria, Afghanistan and Chechnya, is an extremely worrying trend, as he underlines, since the police are often provoked by self-proclaimed clan bosses in the media.

The threat from clan structures

According to the Federal Criminal Police Office, the danger from large ethnic families is also real in Austria. These families often live according to their own laws and undermine the rule of law by financing themselves from severe crime. In a conference that took place in Salzburg from September 20 to 23, 2022, the challenges were discussed by such clans. The deputy director of the Federal Criminal Police Office, Manuel Scherscher, warned: "Parallel societies leverage all three powers of a state at the same time and are therefore an enormous danger to democracy." It is therefore crucial to pursue a multidisciplinary approach to combating such crime that combines the police, science and society. The intimidation of witnesses and victims by members of these clans, in particular through young men from large families, who appear as self -proclaimed moral guards and put pressure on the community, is particularly problematic.

The current cases of fraud caused by these clan structures and show the frequent use of violence that the threat is still present. The focus is on compliance with the legal system and the protection of the citizens, and it is to be hoped that the political actors recognize and act the urgency of the situation so that security in Austria does not further erod.
