According to experts, the therapy unit that put a convicted criminal behind bars after a brutal rape in Innsbruck worked well. So he was released early.
The Afghan asylum seeker who raped a Tyrolean woman for an hour in Innsbruck in 2016, was released early a few weeks ago. He served two-thirds of his seven-year sentence. Angelika M. (name changed) and her lawyer Markus Abwerzger not only criticize the conditional release, but also the fact that the man was not deported.
“The judiciary had five years to obtain a restraining order against the convicted criminal. Because with such a serious crime he will never get a positive decision anyway,” says Abwerzger. The victim is desperate: “I’m scared. Who guarantees me that I am safe? Now everything starts again.”
The “Tiroler Crown” confronted the regional court in Innsbruck with the cause. “Although the man was convicted by us, he served his sentence in Korneuburg prison. That is why the court there is responsible,” said Irene Pfisterer, judge and spokeswoman for the Innsbruck Regional Court.
Psychologists examined convicted criminals
After an offender has served two-thirds of his sentence, only the so-called “special preventive reasons” can be investigated, emphasizes Wolfgang Schuster-Kramer, vice president and spokesman for the court of Korneuburg, “that means that psychologists assess whether the perpetrator is still increasingly dangerous and should remain in detention or not.”
Sex offenders basically start behind bars with an appropriate therapy unit. “That was also the case in this case. Experts came to the conclusion that the therapy had worked well for the asylum seeker, his prognosis was positive and that there was no longer any danger. A judge has released the man conditionally on the basis of this,” the deputy said. spokesman.
No information about the whereabouts of the Afghans
Schuster-Kramer could not provide information about the whereabouts and possible deportation of the convicted Afghan: “That is a matter for the immigration police and not the court anymore.”
