They are only 15 and 16 years old, but they already have quite a bit of credit. In Linz, three other rioters from Halloween night in Linz must answer in court on Thursday. It is already the third trial in connection with the riots.
Shy and almost frightened, they sit in the harbor in front of the jury panel. No wonder, the suspects are only 15 and 16 years old, so children. But the allegations against a 16-year-old Iraqi, a 15-year-old Thai woman and a 15-year-old Afghan woman weigh heavily. They would have played a key role in the Halloween night riots in Linz – procuring the “ammunition”, so to speak.
thrown to the police
The teens, some of whom have already been convicted, are said to have masked themselves with balaclavas and threw Category 3 and 4 firecrackers at the deployed police officers and animated “combatants”. Days earlier, they had gone to the Czech Republic twice to upgrade. The penalty – given the young age – is up to two and a half years in prison.
Already two arrests
Only on Monday, a Spaniard (19), who had already been sentenced to three months’ suspended prison sentence for property crimes in August 2022, was sentenced to 21 months’ partially suspended prison sentence (seven of which were unconditional) for involvement in the riots. The verdict is already final. The week before, a 22-year-old Syrian had been sentenced to one and a half years in prison, including six months in prison – he was also one of the rioters.
