They do not consider human life: the new ATM -Mafia draws a trace of destruction by Austria. Since the beginning of the year, 14 ATMs have flown in and the entire bank or post office with them. Now our security authorities respond.
On average, the silence of the dawn cracks up to two explosions. A Holland-gang consisting of hundreds of members with mainly Moroccan roots haunted with homemade “bombs” made of black powder of forbidden or only pyro experts allocated ATMs.
Insane escape with strong cars
It doesn’t matter to the young men in the 1920s, whether it is half the branch or sometimes even flying a residential building in the air with the ATM. The crime time is always between three and four in the morning, fled with (stolen) PS strong cars, consistently the Audi brand.
Only in Austria were there 14 coups until the beginning of March. The total number of 2024 has already been exceeded. If the perpetrators are not caught quickly, new record figures, as last recorded in 2018 (21 cases) and 2019 (20 cases).
But the unscrupulous serious criminals keep the security authorities in tension throughout Europe. More than 1000 (!) Explosive crimes are already at the point of the Holland Moroccans.
Now the domestic police are bundling their strength. By coordinating the research through a “Soko ATM” in the Federal Criminal Police Office. The head of organized crime, Dieter Csefan, becomes head of the research group. He already leads the successful “Soko Jugend”.
Safety measures are cited at bank tops
In any case, the newly established working group must now intensify the hunt for the new Mafia. “With the ATM working group we have set a clear sign: criminal structures will not find any room in Austria. With close networks of the security authorities and the cooperation with banks and international partners, we ensure that we can act quickly, efficiently and efficiently against this form of crime, ”emphasizes the director of the Federal Criminal Police Office, Andreas Holzer.
In addition, the Interior Minister Gerhard Karner will soon appoint a bank top. The financial institutions must also increase their safety measures by exploding color patterns for violent access and not only via ATMs that are no longer filled. Because in addition to the millions, the material damage as a result of the explosions is again much higher.
Carinthia and Vorarlberg are still spared
Vienna is particularly a hotspot: in the Donaustadt district, favorites, simmering (twice) and lies have already crashed it. Also in the Lower Austria (Korleuburg and Gänserndorf Station), Upper Austria (Wels and Pasching), Salzburg (Aigen), Burgenland (Neuisiedl am See), Tyrol (Ötztal Station) and the most recently reported in Graz. Only Carinthia and Vorarlberg have been spared.
The criminal wave forces the banks to prevent countermeasures. Some e-mails have already been taken out of use as precautions, Bawag foyers are closed between 10 p.m. and 5 am. Other banks have also strengthened their safety measures to prevent further attacks.
