The murder was carried out in 2015 on behalf of the Iraqi terrorist organization Badr Brigade. The Iraqi (32) fled to Austria because he was threatened with the death penalty in his native country. The asylum seeker denies the brutal bloody act and says it was his twin brother. He will be tried in Graz at the end of February.
A police officer allegedly kidnapped, tortured and shot during the terrorist unrest in Iraq. The man had his fingernails and toenails pulled out before dying from three shots to the head after days of endless agony and agony. With the kidnapping, three supporters of terrorists wanted to extort 42,000 euros from the brother of the police officer.
The suspect cannot be deported
It’s been eight years since the brutal murder. Now the prosecutor’s office in Graz wants to call one of the three alleged perpetrators to account – a 32-year-old Iraqi was accused. He was exposed by a compatriot.
The process is taking place in Graz because the asylum seeker has fled to Styria during the large influx of refugees and can no longer be deported. Because he would receive the death penalty in his home country for the murder of the policeman. This fate would have befallen his accomplices.
Member of one of the largest terrorist militias?
According to the indictment, the accused Shiite (Shiite is the second largest religious group in Islam after Sunnis) belongs to the “Badr Brigade”. It is the strongest of the 50 or so terrorist organizations in Iraq that were set up in 2014 in response to IS.
The brigade has taken on the task of cutting communication lines to the west and has long controlled the interior ministry in Baghdad. According to experts, the organization is thus becoming an increasing obstacle to the stabilization of Iraq.
The trial for murder in the name of terror begins on February 20. The jury is expected to make its verdict in early March.
