Successful Burgenländer: Drug Baron sentenced to 16 years in prison

in Burgenland there was a major legal success when a suspected drug baron was convicted of two tons of cannabis and two kilos of cocaine. The public prosecutor's office drew a positive conclusion from several years of investigation and a complex process that took place in Vienna.

The criminal gang, which operated on Kittsee and Nickelsdorf, drew attention to itself since 2020. Hidden investigators, police dogs and numerous crime officers were previously deployed. Thanks to extensive observations and evaluations of telecommunications data, the investigators were able to secure decisive information on the gang's activities.

The process and the judgment

The arrest of the main suspect, which is considered the head of the organization, took place through a specialized command of the police. The Burgenland public prosecutor creates hundreds of files and documented all offenses of this addictive crime. "The negotiation went to a jury in Vienna after we had gained sufficient evidence," explained the prosecutor Petra Bauer.

In the long procedure with numerous witnesses and evidence, the verdict finally fell: 16 years in prison. The chairman of the jury court unequivocally announced the judgment of "guilty". However, it remains to be seen whether the judgment will become final, since the presumption of innocence also applies until a final decision.

further investigations

Petra Bauer also announced that the investigation against accomplices and backers of the organization have not yet been completed. The trial against other participants could follow in the near future, but it is open whether these processes will take place in Burgenland or again in Vienna. Observers of this cause can be looking forward to future developments.

Overall, this case could have far -reaching consequences for drug crime in the region, since the ongoing investigations show that it is a multi -layered network. The Burgenland public prosecutor's office has decided to counteract this network to ensure public security.
