Threatened dismissal – police use video traps: nine suspensions

Date:

Images from surveillance cameras are an important means of investigation for criminals. But now the video trap has been fatal for detectives twice. And they are the suspects.

The story of a 31-year-old Chechen who is ‘victim of the serial police’ in court – he himself is regarded as a dazzling figure in the (illegal) gambling milieu – is as adventurous as it is bizarre.

Fall 1: In July 2020, a beating caused a stir in the ranks of the Viennese executive. A shocking five-minute video from a vending machine leaked to the “Krone” shows two police officers kicking and punching a Chechen. Six colleagues watch without doing anything. As a result, all eight officers were suspended and some were sentenced to suspended prison terms of eight to 12 months.

Fall 2: Four years later, the next police scandal erupts! In the lead role again the same Chechen. In a second arrest, his car was stopped in a driveway by officers from the Street Crime Task Force. Ironically, the unit that started the BVT affair was through a raid on the old state security. In the previous chase, the Chechen apparently threw a drilled blank rifle from the car. Otherwise you don’t resist. But at the police station, one of the two inspectors still writes resistance to state authority in the indictment.

The Chechen is accused – and to the amazement of his lawyer and the police officer called as a witness at the trial (on a stick), he again brings video evidence that blows everything up!

Revealer submerged
This time, the camera trap could even cost the now ninth suspended officer his job. Because it is determined in three suspicious cases: abuse of office, pretext of a criminal offense and slander.

And a suspended sentence of more than a year actually automatically leads to dismissal from the service because of the “principle of unacceptability” in civil service law. By the way, the Chechen went abroad – just like after the first case.
