Police officer in court: abuse of office and drug possession revealed!

An impending scandal is shaking the Salzburg police: an officer is accused of abusing his official authority on several occasions. According to the indictment, which will be heard in a trial next Thursday in the regional court, the police officer is said to have manipulated an accident report at the request of an acquaintance and passed on explosive information about ongoing manhunts. This accused acquaintance, a Bosnian living in Austria, is also charged with fraud and abuse of office and has already caused significant financial damage to the insurance company when he defrauded the insurance company of around 1,800 euros by manipulating the accident report. This reported Krone.at.

Violation of official secrecy and drug possession

In addition to the allegations of abuse of office, the police officer is also accused of showing his girlfriend pictures of a drug raid, thereby violating official secrecy. These serious allegations are not alone, as the officer also allegedly possessed small amounts of illegal drugs such as cocaine and amphetamines. These incidents raise questions about the integrity within the executive branch, which is already being called into question by these misconducts. The full extent of the allegations and their possible consequences will be discussed at the trial on Thursday kaernten.ORF.at reported.
