A brutal robbery brought a girl (14) and a boy (15) to court in Salzburg. The victim is a 14-year-old girl who was dragged into an underground car park and tortured there. The actual main perpetrator, who attracted attention due to her extreme willingness to violence, got off unscathed. She is only twelve years old.
“All in all, you just get the impression that you don’t take all this seriously and just do what you want!” The judge’s words speak volumes about the conduct of three young people before the Salzburg court on Tuesday.
Main perpetrator goes free because of her age
Only two-thirds of the trio were charged with theft, because the main perpetrator is only 12 years old and thus not of criminal age. She was only there as a witness. However, an unemployed 15-year-old and a high school student (14) were tried. What happened?
Girl dragged to garage and brutally robbed
On October 10 last year, the trio was out in the Bahnhofsviertel in Salzburg. The 12-year-old was presented as the brain. “We met and A. said she wanted to go to the garage to take M.’s money,” said the 14-year-old. When the girl (14) refused to go along, the 15-year-old pulled her arm into a garage.
Then the 12-year-old pulled her victim to the ground by the hair, sat on his body and punched her fists no less than ten times. “A jumped on me and hit me in the face with his fists. E. kicked me in the neck,” the police victim recalls. The 14-year-old is also said to have kicked. The trio divided the loot, 55 euros in cash, among each other.
No respect, no interest
The two suspects and the witness stood out in court because of their relaxed sitting posture, demonstrative disinterest and lack of respect. The 15-year-old, who continued to laugh, also seemed unimpressed by the pre-trial detention. “I like prison. I know a lot of people there,” said the 15-year-old.
Difficult family background
The family background of the protagonists is tricky. The suspect is an orphan, the suspect recently spent the night in emergency shelters. And the mother of the 12-year-old main perpetrator herself used to run into trouble with the law, trumpeting down the aisle during a pause in the trial.
The 14-year-old was placed on 12 months’ probation and was also convicted of shoplifting. Numerous previous procedures were discontinued due to immaturity. The 15-year-old was sentenced to 15 months in prison. He was also convicted of making repeated trips in other people’s cars recently. The verdict is not final.
