After activists not only paralyzed Innsbruck’s city center last week, but also caused a dangerous blockade on the Tyrolean Brenner motorway (A13), the Innsbruck public prosecutor’s office is now investigating the matter. An attempt is being made to deliberately endanger the community in the room.
Last Thursday, the activists of the last generation carried out a dangerous operation on the A13. They blocked the road near the Europa Bridge in the morning. This can now have criminal consequences. As the APA reports in a broadcast, the Innsbruck public prosecutor’s office is investigating the possible initial suspicion. In concrete terms, this concerns the possible realization of the criminal offense of attempting to deliberately endanger society.
Other punishments are also possible. Police said they would explain the facts to authorities. The Public Prosecution Service is now investigating whether the initial suspicion was expressed or not. It is said that the submission of such a report is a “novelty”, at least in Tyrol. In addition, one could also speak of a grossly negligent threat to physical safety.
Traffic on the A13 was initially delayed
The activists drove three cars on the Brennerautobahn last Thursday. The vehicles slowed down more and more before stopping at the Europa Bridge. Seven activists then sat down on the road. The traffic jam stretched as far as Innsbruck. Not even an emergency lane remained free, the emergency vehicles barely got through, according to the APA.
However, in response to last week’s police announcement, the last generation said it would cooperate with authorities and face the legal consequences. The three wanted motorists would report “immediately to the police” to clarify the matter. The slow deceleration of the cars on the Europabrücke was carefully planned and executed in such a way that there was no danger to others,” it was argued.
