The ink on the now legally binding verdict is barely dry when the dog executioner from Ansfelden (Upper Austria) already applies for early release from prison. Legally speaking, this is actually very likely, as he has already served two-thirds of the ‘heavy’ sentence in custody.
On January 29, a judge at the Linz Regional Court imposed a total of 24 months in prison – eight of which were unconditional – on the 45-year-old who allegedly kept up to 50 dogs in a house in Ansfelden under devastating conditions. conditions and trained them for dog fighting.
The suspect was found guilty of drug trafficking, weapons possession and animal cruelty. He immediately accepted the sentence, while the prosecutor asked for time to think about it. The judgment was therefore not final. But that is the case now. The public prosecutor decided not to appeal; the punishment seemed appropriate to him.
The enforcement court examines the application
The 45-year-old will probably not have to serve the eight-month unconditional prison sentence. The 45-year-old’s lawyer filed a request for early, conditional release from prison on Monday. His client had been in custody since the beginning of September and this time his sentence will be deducted. “Once half or two-thirds of a prison sentence has been served, you can officially check whether the remainder can be carried out conditionally,” says Walter Eichinger, vice president of the LG Linz. carried out by a specially staffed prison court.
Further proceedings are pending
By the way, the dog executioner is still charged with violating the Nazi ban. This investigation is being conducted separately and was therefore not a subject of the trial on January 29. This concerns seized Nazi-related objects and relevant tattoos. For now, the results of the investigation are still pending, which will determine whether charges can be filed.
