Raid against Pedo-Hunter: Police take action in seven federal states!

Graz, Österreich - A dramatic large-scale operation shook Austria on Friday morning: in seven federal states, the police stormed by special units such as Cobra and Wega, apartments of members of the controversial "Pedo Hunter" scene. These self -proclaimed “hunters” had specifically attacked men under the pretext of acting against sex offenders, who incorrectly considered them pedophile without having a concrete suspicion. According to the State Police Directorate Graz, the arrests are the result of investigations into severe “hate crime” offenses that were directed against homosexual persons, reports Exxpress.at.

More than 400 officials were in use to snap the alleged perpetrators and ensure evidence. The raids took place in all federal states except Carinthia and Vorarlberg. The police emphasized that it was not a commitment to real pedophile, but against prejudice and vigilante justice, which was exercised by a small group. Major General Joachim Huber from the State Police Directorate Styria announced that additional information will follow, as Meiberzirk.at reports.

The mysterious operation that runs under the name "AG Venator" remains an issue in the media. It remains to be expected that the authorities will announce more details about the arrests and their backgrounds in the coming days. The goal of this campaign is not only the arrest of the suspects, but also to combat the dangerous ideology that drives such self -proclaimed "hunters".
