19,300 euros for a night full of holes in the memory: Because a technician wanted the money back after a drunken visit to a brothel, he went to the police with false information. The 54-year-old hid the extremely expensive pleasure in a transsexual studio in Vienna. The prostitute’s handcuffs clicked wrong. Now the man has been convicted.
There is nothing that does not exist in the Vienna Regional Court. This is evident from the trial of a 54-year-old technician. A respectable-looking gentleman enters room 14: gray hair, neatly dressed. He talks about a thirty-year relationship and how he commutes between his city apartment and a house in the countryside.
“Journey” to the brothel
Doesn’t sound spectacular. If it were not on the night of October 16 to 17, 2023. While driving home from a pleasant evening with friends in the center of Vienna, the defendant spontaneously decides to make a detour to the brothel. To be more precise: in a transsexual studio. There he uses the services of an Italian woman.
Lorenzo (name changed) is called to the witness stand. She is the exact opposite of the defendant: tall, busty, plump lips and oversized sunglasses. The Italian woman explains how the technician’s visit went, whose face becomes increasingly red in the hallway.
The customer absolutely did not want to go home
“He initially stayed for two hours and paid 600 euros. “He then used dominatrix services for 1,000 euros,” the witness reports in courageous Italian, translated by an interpreter. After that, the prostitute actually wanted to get rid of the customer. But he didn’t want to go at all and even agreed to a huge price increase to almost 2,000 euros per hour. According to the impulsive witness, he did not leave the establishment until around 10:00 am.
19,300 euros for fun with a transsexual
A crime only occurred after the man had slept off his high, which also involved drugs. And he glanced at his bill: the evening’s entertainment cost a total of 19,300 euros. “I didn’t know where the money was going. It was all the savings I had,” the suspect, who speaks of gaps in his memory, sees himself as a victim.
The suspect wanted to get the money back
He decided to go to the police to get the almost 20,000 euros back. He gave the officers a ‘story’ that did not include the visit to the transsexual studio. Instead, he was cheated on that night. The account information led to Lorenzo, who snapped the handcuffs a short time later. The Viennese kept his version for four interrogations, and the dominatrix spent several days innocently in custody.
“He did not tell the whole truth and skipped the brothel out of shame. He was very ashamed. But the debited amount cannot be related to any service,” the lawyer argues.
The false statement came to light
Judge Martin Kampitsch still considers the crime of providing false evidence clearly fulfilled: “You had several opportunities to remember. What makes it even more difficult is that a person had to be in custody during the investigation,” he sentenced the previously innocent man to a 15-month suspended prison sentence, which was not legally binding. “The witness will be referred to civil law with her claims,” Mr Rat concluded – the prostitute is claiming 7,350 euros in legal costs plus 18,000 euros in damages.
