Dramatic escape – Burgenland: soldiers with tug almost dead

Human lives seem to mean nothing to smugglers, neither those of the illegals they crammed into the hold of their vehicles, nor those of the Austrian policemen and soldiers at the border. But first things first.

Raced towards soldiers at over 100 km/h
In the night of March 3 to 4 of this year, Moldavian Alexandru M. was on his way from Hungary to Austria with 14 illegal immigrants, including three small children, on board his van. Corporal Onur K. of Panzer Battalion 14 “Hesse” and his comrade were on duty at the border in Ritzing. When M.’s Mercedes Vito approached, K. wanted to stop the car. The Moldovan then stepped on the gas, accelerated to over 120 km/h and raced towards the soldier. Corporal K. only saved his life at the last moment by jumping sideways. M., on the other hand, continued to flee, trying to fend off several police patrols chasing him. There was even a helicopter in action. Finally, the tractor crashed into a barrier on a dirt road – arrest!

During his trial, the 28-year-old was literally dumber than the police allowed. He saw no soldiers at the border crossing and did not even know there was a border there. Even his public defender erupted at one point. She repeatedly rebuked her client for his outrageous fairy tales. M. claimed he had never been outside Moldova – until he passed himself off and admitted to being involved in a planned smuggling operation as early as February. After that, the Moldovan did not answer any more questions. adjourned.
