He wasted his whole life for love, summed up a young man’s lawyer. To raise money for his girlfriend who lives in Colombia, a professional soldier in the brothel pulled out a gun. Now he can say goodbye to his career in the Austrian army, and his partner – for four years.
“If it weren’t so tragic that the future of a young person is at stake here and we have to try a crime, you would think we are in a failed novel,” the defense lawyer leads the trial of a 23-year-old old soldiers a.
The dream of a wedding in July
Who had a brilliant future ahead of him: medals, awards, the best way to become a non-commissioned officer. If it wasn’t for love. He supported his partner in Colombia and her family with money and was determined to bring them to Austria. A wedding was planned in July.

Tears in the defendant and in the room
The Romanian prostitute did not appear as a witness in court. But that wasn’t necessary either. With his head hanging and in tears, the suspect described the “stupid” attempt to get money. “I actually wanted to apologize to the lady in person, but then I apologize to my family for the distress I have caused them.” And it seems great. Sobbing and sobbing can be heard in the crowded rows of spectators in Hall 203. Sees a mother holding devotional items she has placed in front of her.
“That is extraordinary,” says the judge about the crime and its background. “She’s the love of my life,” the 23-year-old sobbed. Whom he won’t see for another four years because of the imprisonment that is not final…
