Scandal in Liesing: Woman dismissed by police after violent violence!

in Vienna occurred this early on an explosion that indicates the machinations of Dutch criminals. According to a report by the Vienna State Police Directorate, an explosive device detonated around 3:30 a.m., although there is initially no information on the damage. The suspects, a group from the Netherlands, are also associated with several ATM blasts a year. The explosives used apparently consist of fireworks rockets. The State Criminal Police Office has taken over the investigation, as the "Kronen Zeitung" reports.

But not only explosions are concerned with the Viennese police. On the same day, an incident in the Liesing police inspection was public, which raises questions regarding the handling of the civil servants with victims of domestic violence. A woman had reported that she was beaten by her partner when she went to the police to file a complaint. But instead of receiving support, according to media reports, she was rejected by a police officer who claimed that it was not violent. According to the Interior Ministry, the incident cannot be confirmed. The woman had actually been beaten for the first time at a second police inspection, the Westbahnhof inspection. In the meantime, a ban on rectification was imposed on the partner.

internal investigation and legal consequences

The internal investigations within the police have also started. While the Westbahnhof police inspection immediately followed the case, the accusation of abuse of office against the first instance civil servant was described as "more or less", since the lady acted actively during the first survey. However, this raises significant questions about the sensitivity and training of the civil servants in dealing with victims of violence. The woman, who had already suffered violent attacks in the past, ultimately turned to a district court, where an application for an injunction was rejected against her partner. The reason for this was the lack of a clear proof of their injuries.

The victim lawyer Sonja Aziz commented concerns about the lack of sensitization of the emergency services in recognizing trauma triggers in testimony and emphasized the need for further training to help the victims of domestic violence effectively. The situation illustrates the urgent need to improve both the security situation and the support of victims of violence in Vienna. 24-hour hotlines are available for those who are in need to offer immediate help.
