Investigations and apologies

After the attack, the alleged racket initially fled, however, a few days later, the police stood and took full responsibility for his actions. Although he showed himself to be reputable and asked everyone involved, especially Burgstaller and his family, to apologize, he remains under pressure not only because of serious bodily harm, but also due to possible revenge actions by the rapid hooligans. These have already given threats to him via social media.

In addition, there was another scandal in the area of ​​the association: After a deliberate derby victory against Austria Vienna, the Rapid team and their responsible homophobic chants had started, which was sharply convicted not only by the fans, but also by the Bundesliga. In addition to the club itself, several players and officials, including Burgstaller, were also displayed in an official announcement by the Austrian Bundesliga.
