The tragedy surrounding the two crushed Syrians (23) has far-reaching legal consequences. On Wednesday, police investigations confirmed the suspicion that the two migrants, who were in an ongoing asylum procedure, should not have been employed at all.
Accordingly, the two Syrians were deployed “blackly” in the renovation work – but further investigations are still ongoing. “An investigation is being opened on suspicion of murder due to gross negligence. A construction report should clarify the reason for the accident,” says Alois Ebner from the Ried public prosecutor’s office. If a perpetrator is found, they risk a prison sentence of up to three years. The labor inspectorate is also waiting for the report from the judiciary.
Who hired them?
This and the financial police are checking who hired the two asylum seekers: the one-man builder from Innviertel who was able to save himself in time or the owner of the house. The latter did not want to comment at Krone’s request.
It should also be clarified whether the necessary static assessments were carried out before the renovation work began in the vacant house in which a bookstore is rented. According to the mayor, the municipality of Schärding was not aware of the renovation.
