Court mitigates punishment for IS supporters-a scandalous false handle!

Salzburg, Österreich - An incredible incident in the area of tension between the judiciary and fight against terrorism developed in Salzburg. The regional court reduced the fine for a convicted ISIS supporter because he was expecting a child. According to krone.at , the punishment of 6840 euros was dramatically reduced to 4210 euros in installments! The 28-year-old Kosovare had already received 18 months of imprisonment and the original fine after he was condemned to spread terrorist propaganda via Tiktok.

But now the Linz Higher Regional Court intervened and made it clear that this reduction was a legal error. It was found that when the new daily set height is determined from 19 to 11 euros, the perpetrator's income had to be taken into account at the time of conviction. This would have meant that the convict would still have to pay the original sum, as from the report of orf.at . It is all the more surprising that such an incident could take place in the current security policy situation.

In addition, a look at the Salzburg judiciary shows that only another terrorist suspect is currently imprisoned there. The 21-year-old sleeper, which was available for the ISIS leader for attacks, was arrested last December. The investigation against him is still running. In the midst of this serious background, the decision of the state court to mitigate the punishment for the IS supporter becomes all the more questionable and raises questions about handling and permissiveness within the judicial system.
