Now the police and judiciary are cracking down on the alleged “outdoor Nazis” in Braunau. A week after the report, a 32-year-old with a relevant criminal record from the Innviertel region was arrested. His “pimples” are now being analyzed in detail.
Because two police officers from Braunau had come to the swimming pool after a complaint, but had only waited at the turnstile until the lifeguards ‘brought in’ the alleged neo-Nazi – which they did not – and then left again, a political fire quickly broke out on the roof. Even a parliamentary question is being prepared.
house search ordered
But after another interrogation of the indicator – a Bavarian police officer and his partner – things moved quickly on Saturday evening: the suspect was confronted with the allegations at home and a search was also arranged. Because suspicious tattoos were found on the body, the arrest warrant came. “Clear edge against neo-Nazis! Countering reoperation is a task for society as a whole. The police in Upper Austria will continue to do everything possible to detect criminal offenses and to report and arrest persistent criminals if necessary. I would also like to thank my colleague from Simbach. Without him, the suspect would not be in custody today,” said Andreas Pilsl, director of the state police, when asked by “Krone”. The lax handling of the ad is now a matter for the Vienna corruption prosecutor. Disciplinary proceedings will follow if the police observe misconduct by officials.
Relevant criminal record
The 32-year-old from Upper Austria, who is said to have openly displayed suspicious Nazi tattoos in the bathroom, has a relevant criminal record. Some “peckerl” should already be painted over. Whether the visible inscription “Blood and Honour” is punishable must be verified. Although it is in the banned Nazi badge book, experts at the Extremism Advisory Center explain that the lettering is only prohibited and punishable if used in exactly the same way as in the badge book. Otherwise you have to look at the “big picture” to see if there are any other indications of Nazi sentiment.
Arrest not uncommon
In Upper Austria, the number of notifications of reuse is traditionally high. “Because we also show no tolerance and report every violation,” says Pilsl. Arrest for a banned tattoo is rare, but not uncommon. And in this case, after the first blunders in the investigation, the public prosecutor’s office does not want to be accused of having acted carelessly.
