The trial is ongoing: the wrong policewoman acted so boldly in Vienna

What is that, you are jeopardizing the investigation!”, the voice on the phone grew loud as Mrs. R. asked: “Are you really from the police?” – so she obeyed the instructions of the alleged inspector, who informed her about In the spring of 2022, her apartment became the target of a gang of burglars.

The man even sent her home to a police officer with an ID – Inspector Daniela Königsberger said she did. In an envelope, Mrs. R. handed over 1,200 euros in cash to the fake police officer, who now has to answer to the Vienna Regional Court. “The money must be secured,” the 76-year-old victim recalls. The pensioner emptied all her bank accounts, Mrs. R. got off lightly.

All savings gone
Unlike Mrs A. (77), who received a call from ‘Inspector Frick’ in April 2022. An attempt was made to break in. I could help catch the gang”, Mrs A. describes the telephone conversation. Bank employees are also criminals, which is why it is necessary to withdraw all credit: “So that the fingerprints on the banknotes can be secured.” The good-natured woman believed him and gave the communal gang a total of 122,000 euros – all savings are gone. The perpetrator stayed in the victim’s apartment all night.

The third victim lost 99,000 euros
It was no less bad for the third witness, who lost 99,000 euros. Particularly brutal: The wrong cop stayed in the apartment with her all night to “watch out” and accompanied the victim to the bank in the morning. “How can that happen to me when you hear and read so much,” the 75-year-old shakes her head desperately. She suspects that the money has run out: “You can’t get to the lenders anyway.”

The defendant claims not to know her client: “Mr. Y. lives in Turkey. We only had contact by phone,” she says. Adjourned.
