A man brought a suspicious package to a polling station in Salzburg-Aigen. The police blast squad has left, including a bomb dog…
With a fake passport to the federal presidential elections! A man in the city of Salzburg came up with this crazy idea on Sunday. He went to the polling station in Aigen primary school and showed his fake ID card. All discussions were in vain. The election official kicked the man out of the building – clearly he wasn’t allowed to vote.
A bomb dog examined the package
The situation soon escalated. The man returned with a package under his arm. He turned it off at the polling station and left. What was in the box? All those present wondered and became afraid. The election official did not hesitate and promptly called the police.
An explosives crew had to go outside. An officer and a bomb dog examined the package. They were able to quickly clarify everything. There were no explosives in the suspicious package, just a book.
Polling station moved in the short term
The police operation lasted only a few moments. The polling station had to remain closed for almost 30 minutes. In the meantime, you could cast your vote for Alexander Van der Bellen and his six opponents in an adjacent room. “The elections were not affected at any point,” said Karl Schupfer from the city of Salzburg. He emphasizes: “The election official acted correctly.”
It is still unclear why the man went to the polls with a false passport and a suspicious package.
