After a break-in at a bank branch in Lake Wörthersee in Carinthia, the safe of a pensioner was also emptied – gold coins worth about 90,000 euros have disappeared. The old customer believed that his treasure was insured. But after a long court case, he is now sitting there with no savings – how is that possible?
In the past three years alone, professional gangs in Austria have made more than 25 million euros from locker coups. The tank squatters also struck a Carinthian bank branch. Among other things, they stole a philharmonic instrument from a pensioner’s compartment, which the man had just bought from the bank and stored in the branch. He wanted to have the damage repaired, but is now searching through his fingers. Because the Supreme Court has now rendered a final judgment in the process – in favor of the financial institution. Thousands of customers are affected by the decision.
