The known ‘career criminals’, as the prosecutor described them, were given prison sentences of several years after their series of burglaries, which caused almost 300,000 in damage.
They “went to Austria to break in,” the prosecutor said Monday during the trial at the Salzburg regional court, describing the three accused Bosnians (56, 44, 33) as “career criminals.”
Lack of money as a motive
Appropriate: the working trio used free weekends for their series of burglaries. Between July 2023 and February 2024, they entered 48 houses, mainly in Flachgau and neighboring Upper Austria. Shoe prints, multiple DNA traces and the same modus operandi betrayed the Bosnians.
The six-time convict probably had the idea for it; the other two were appearing before the criminal court for the first time. ‘I needed the money. ‘I have debts,’ the more experienced criminal explained the motive. The other two defendants also said similar things. One of the two previously innocent people also said: “I’ve never done that before in my life.”
All three of them divided the tasks among themselves: the youngest was the driver, the other two broke into the houses and stole money and jewelry. In case of doubt, the court ultimately assumed that the damage was slightly less than 300,000 euros. After the confessions, the prison sentences were clear: the Bosnian, who had already been convicted, had to serve five years in prison, the others were given three and a half and two and a half years in prison – legally not binding.
