Brutally attacked: grievances uncovered in Tyrolean emergency shelter!
Fate struck in Tyrol: A 30-year-old Iraqi, who was working as a detective in the Tyrolean Social Services (TSD) emergency shelter, was brutally attacked with baseball bats and a knife on Saturday evening. This incident occurred in Zirl, just shortly after the publication of his reports about serious abuses in the facility, such as this express reported. The attack raises questions: Is it a targeted operation to silence the person who exposed it? The Iraqi had worked in the emergency shelter for the past year and was confronted with serious problems there, including social dumping and illegal activities. Despite his warnings, he felt that his superiors and the police did not take him seriously for a long time and was ultimately fired himself.
The brutal attack came alongside revelations about TSD, where allegations of drug trafficking and security at the facility were made. As the Crown newspaper reported that those responsible at the TSD rejected the victim's call for help, even though he had previously pointed out his persecution several times. This situation has now led to a political outcry; Politicians from various parties are demanding comprehensive information and acceptance of responsibility from the TSD leaders.
Political reactions and demands for clarification
The reactions in the country are violent. Tyrol's FPÖ leader Markus Abwerzger expressed frustration at the constant negative headlines that the TSD has been producing for years. He calls for clear leadership and a thorough investigation of the grievances. Birgit Obermüller from NEOS also criticized the intolerable conditions in the facility and called for solutions to regain the trust of employees and clients. While the investigation into the attack continues, the police plan to clarify the background to the incident and hold those responsible accountable.
