False statement after escape of prisoners: Justice officer in court

A sensational incident in the judiciary concerns the escape of a 19-year-old investigation in February, which has escaped from the judiciary during medical treatment. A legal guardian who was responsible for compliance with the security precautions was responsible for in the court on Friday, not because of the escape itself, but because of his subsequent false accusation.

The 47-year-old official stated that he had received a punch from the prisoner, but it turned out to be untrue. Video recordings from a surveillance camera clearly refuted this claim. The judiciary was therefore charged with abuse of his authority and defamation. He confessed to his guilt and explained that he had lied out of "shame" after a prisoner had escaped him for the first time in 20 years.

escape during a hospital visit

The prisoner, who was convicted of robbery and assault, was in custody due to suspicion of terrorism. He was moved from the Wiener Neustadt judiciary to a nearby hospital after suffering an epileptic seizure. The treating doctor issued the command of leading the inmates without handcuffs, since this was necessary for his safety, especially after a seizure.

During the return from the hospital, it happened: In the elevator, the prisoner managed to free himself for a short time and to escape through the closing doors. The legal guardian tried to follow him, but fell and finally injured his head. The fleeting could only be arrested a day later.

In addition to the legal consequences, the official must also face disciplinary proceedings, since he is accused of having not put on handcuffs to the prisoner, which had already led to a disciplinary penalty. After payment of a fine of 4,000 euros, the proceedings against him were terminated. This means that he has the opportunity to avoid the punishment if he does not commit any further offenses.

The situation raises questions about security and the processes in the Justiwesen, especially when it comes to dealing with sticks during medical treatments. Such incidents not only lead to disciplinary procedures, but also lead a light on the challenges that employees in the judiciary face if they are to perform their tasks effectively and safely.
