After alleged brutal scenes that allegedly took place on a ski slope in the Tyrolean Zillertal at the beginning of February, four young Belgians (22 and 23 years old) have now been charged in Innsbruck. A German (53) is said to have been beaten by them after a collision with bumps and skis. In court, however, one objection followed another…
One could cynically speak of a “country match” between Germany and Belgium, which was held at the Penken ski resort in Finkenberg, at least according to the indictment. According to this, the father of a family from Germany was hit by two novice drivers in the presence of his two sons and then attacked by a total of four young Belgians after a battle of words. According to the police, the 53-year-old was beaten with skis and fists.
Defendants have defended themselves against charges
“Not true”, the Belgians now defended themselves before the court in Innsbruck. “On the contrary! We were approached by the man’s sons. One even hit me on the head with a ski pole,” said the first defendant. Fortunately, he was wearing a helmet.
The quartet was acquitted due to a number of contradictions. It remains a mystery how the 53-year-old sustained injuries, some serious, such as a maxillary sinus fracture.
