Gang War in Vienna: Chechens accused of shooting in the park!

Anton-Kummerer-Park, Wien, Österreich - The gang war in Vienna reaches a dramatic turning point: The public prosecutor has charged two men-a 30-year-old Chechens and a 29-year-old compatriot-because of attempted murder in connection with a violent shootout. This elaborate development follows the violent clashes of July 5, 2024 in the Anton-Kummerer Park, where the confrontations between Chechen and Syrians took place. In the incident that shakes the city, the accused is said to have attacked five men in a targeted manner and shot them several times, while two other men were slightly injured by rebound balls. As reported, the fatal intentions were unsuccessful due to other circumstances, but the scandalous events caused a sensation.

consequences and further investigations

In the meantime, the public prosecutor's office is investigating several directions. After the brutally guided argument between ethnic groups in summer, in which wood slats and knives were also fought, some Syrians have already been convicted of dangerous threats, while another 19-year-old Syrian was acquitted on Monday. The acquitted defendant pointed out that he was by chance at the scene, which the judges could not convince of his innocence. The reality remains threatening: the emergency services had counted at least six shots and had to report several injuries. In addition, the investigators also deal with other incidents - such as a brutal fight at the Meidling train station - where there are already determined against 26 people because of serious bodily harm. These unrest in Vienna required extensive criminal measures that the public prosecutor continues to drive, such as reports the press

The judiciary tirelessly acts against the gang culture, which has increasingly radicalized in Vienna in recent years. The connection of one of the accused to a terrorist association is particularly worrying. A 17-year-old adolescent is suspected of standing in connection with a planned attack on a concert by Taylor Swift in the Ernst Happel Stadium. Fortunately, thanks to international information, this impending attack was thwarted, which directs attention to the confused entanglements of criminal groups in the region, such as OE24 noted.
