Arrest in Graz: Hungarian fraudsters made up for cruelty to animals
A 44-year-old woman who had fled to Austria after suspicion of cruelty to animals from Hungary has now been arrested in Graz. The arrest, which took place on Friday afternoon in the Jakomini judiciary in Graz, apparently went without resistance. The State Police Directorate of Styria confirmed the arrest and the serious allegations against the Austrian, which is not only accused of cruelty to animals, but also the commercial fraud in connection with illegal puppy trade.
The Hungarian law enforcement authorities had intensively searched for the woman, which led to a European arrest warrant against her. The Graz public prosecutor's office has initiated a procedure to check the legal basis for its arrest in Austria. This request was made using an existing procedure in Eisenstadt, where the woman is also investigated. The situation raises questions about cross -border law enforcement.
legal context
From a legal point of view, the Austrian judicial authorities are in a complex process. There will probably be no delivery to Hungary, since a domestic procedure has already been initiated here. This procedure includes the request for the results of the investigation that the Hungarian authorities must provide in this case. The public prosecutor's office Graz has the investigation and the outcome remains to be seen.The whole thing makes you take notice, since the illegal puppy trade and the associated cruelty to animals are currently increasingly the public focus. The demands for strict laws and more enforcement in these topics are getting louder. This arrest could be a step in the right direction to combat such offenses.
