An exciting clue after the horror discovery in the Marchfeld Canal leads to a mystery of missing persons in Vienna – and in the Middle East.
A refugee from the chic Hietzing district, an Iranian refugee, has been missing since November 15 last year. However, no public search has taken place so far, as the missing person’s case was already considered doubtful by investigators at the time.
Ice cold “piece killer”
Now a hot route leads from the Marchfeld Canal to the ice-cold “Stückel-Killer”. Identification documents were also found in the murky water among the sawn-up body parts near the recreational oasis on Danube Island. Documents from the 45-year-old, who has been missing for eight weeks. The DNA comparison is also similar.
Researchers keep a low profile
But why was an Iranian refugee murdered mafia-style in the middle of the federal capital and then sunk? The murder investigators at the National Criminal Investigation Department are still tight-lipped about the possible background. Naturally, the victim’s personal environment is currently being investigated. And with it his past in the Middle East.
The long arm of the revolutionary guard
The fact is that the infamous Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps – it is the elite unit of the armed forces – has been extremely active in the West, especially since Hamas’s attack on Israel more than 100 days ago. Iran is considered the biggest supporter of the Palestinian terrorist organization.
In any case, eavesdropping by the secret service and planned assassinations have been exposed in Europe in the past. Did the long arm of the army of the Guardians of the Revolution also reach into the federal capital in the murder mystery? In addition to a possible political background resulting from the execution of an unpleasant dissident, a purely criminal motive is also investigated. Was the 45-year-old ex-Iranian involved in shady business?
Knife attacker in front of the Iranian embassy villa
In 2018, Vienna’s posh neighborhood was the focus of an Iranian crime thriller. A radicalized, then 26-year-old Austrian-Egyptian was killed in a knife attack in front of the embassy villa. He had attacked a guard and in a fight to the death the wounded corporal shot the killer.
