Purpose under pressure: escape of a prisoner hits waves!

A legal guardian, 47 years old, had to answer to the court on Friday (November 29th) in Vienna. The focus is on allegations of abuse of office and defamation, which result from an incident in February 2024. On this day, the official, who can come up with over 20 years of experience, escaped a detention. The 19-year-old had previously suffered an epileptic seizure and had to be taken to the hospital in Vienna-Leopoldstadt for the medical examination. During the return from the hospital, the prisoner used an careless second of the civil servant and escaped through the closing lift doors.

court judgment and consequences

like the Kurier reported, the civil servant finally admitted incorrect information, namely "out of shame" about his inattention. Because of his failure to put on handcuffs to the prisoner, he already had to pay a fine of 500 euros. Finally, it was decided in court that the official had to pay a diversion of 4,000 euros to hire the procedure against him.

The 19-year-old prisoner, who was in custody due to robbery and assault, had been moved to the Josefstadt prison after an epileptic attack. Due to the health situation, it was decided to transport it without handcuffs to minimize a risk of falling. The legal guardian, who has never faced a rung in the past, not only jeopardized his credibility, but also endangered security in execution.
