A 39-year-old now had to appear at the St. Pölten Regional Court for unauthorized absence from the armed forces. He repented and was sentenced to a fine.
In an instant, everything was just too much. After personal problems were exacerbated by health problems, a 39-year-old went into hiding without further ado. As expected, this did not go unnoticed by his employer – and as a regular soldier in the armed forces, his absence was not without legal consequences.
“I know what I did and I am not looking for excuses,” the father of the family said during the desertion trial at the St. Pölten Regional Court. Because the explosive power of the news about his bride’s intentions to divorce during a mission in Kosovo as a minesweeper turned the man from the Waldviertel into a ‘deserter criminal’. He sought solid ground under his feet as quickly as possible to fight for his love.
Fine for unauthorized absence
Vain. When health problems arose after an operation, the 39-year-old went to the diving station. “That was wrong and I am very sorry,” the defendant said. Due to the circumstances and his sincere regret, his unauthorized absence from the army ended lightly with a fine of 720 euros.
