He managed to sell a small part of the stolen cards to two shops in Vienna – which is why the prosecutor charged him with money laundering. “Everything I didn’t sell, I gave back,” said the defendant, who previously had no criminal record. “He is very sorry. At the time, shortly after his divorce, he was in a difficult situation and had family problems,” said the defense lawyer.
