Bloody revenge in Graz: Syrian clans suspected of attempted murder!

In Graz, violent clashes between two Syrian family clans shake the city. Christmas time became a time of blood when a 20-year-old Syrian called on his relatives from refugee homes in Innsbruck and Vienna to take revenge for his 17-year-old brother, who was attacked at the main train station on December 23rd. With iron bars, knives and even a blank pistol, they roamed the streets looking for victims, resulting in dramatic scenes. Among the attackers are three men who are now in custody for attempted murder, serious bodily harm and serious coercion krone.at reported.

During these riots, an 18-year-old was seriously injured after a knife was rammed into his back. Other victims had to hand over their cell phones under threat. The police were able to arrest two suspects in Innsbruck and one in Graz. They face a long prison sentence because the public prosecutor's office imposed pre-trial detention due to the risk of absconding and the possibility of the proceedings being obscured. All three perpetrators claim that they were not actively involved in the incidents, a statement that is questioned by the statement of criminal lawyers who emphasize the importance of legal support for the defendants in order to protect their rights and develop a defense strategy kohl-rupp.at explained. It remains to be seen how the process will develop further.
