Mail Hidden – Overwhelmed mailman failed to deliver letters

“I feel very guilty and I realize I made a big mistake,” the defendant said in the trial. As an employee of Post AG, the young man hid a total of 208 RSA and RSB letters in a box between February and April. Reason: Overwhelmed by the job. “I worked an average of 12 to 14 hours a day.” He often turned to his team leader, described the situation to him and asked for support. However, according to the 21-year-old, nothing happened. “The burden just got bigger. At home I was so exhausted that at one point I just had to cry.”

self help
In his distress, he resorts to self-help and increasingly hides important RSA and RSB mail in a box instead of delivering the letters. However, because his conscience is bothering him, he decides to press charges himself. Sadly, regret comes too late. His superior was faster, at least on that point. He had already filed a complaint against the employee. Despite the extensive confession and the impeccable character of the now former postman, public prosecutor Manfred Melchhammer sees no possibility of an amicable settlement: “We do not know what damage the addressees have suffered as a result of the non-delivery of the more than 200 letters .”

payment in terms
The President of the Senate Jury, Sabrina Tagwercher, sentenced the repentant Unterländer to a partial fine of 4,620 euros for abuse of office. He has to pay half, the rest is conditionally suspended. Closing words of the convicted person: “I would like to thank you very much for this judgment and would like to accept the offer to pay in installments.”
