Actually, the (previously convicted) suspect should have taken care of the paralyzed victim. However, the 46-year-old preferred to grab the money from the patient entrusted to her and even tried to blackmail the restricted woman with nude photos.
The accused Serb (46) spoke out in courtroom 204 of the Salzburg Regional Court on Wednesday: she denied the serious charges – based on commercial theft and attempted blackmail.
The indictment summed up the allegations in several points: According to this information, the 46-year-old used the records of a severely paralyzed resident as a nurse to order goods on the Internet, such as a coffee set, a total of 29 times. Between September 2020 and July 2021, she squandered more than 4,000 euros.
Accused changed testimony
She is also said to have stolen jewelry and withdrawn cash 12 times with the victim’s debit card – a total of about 2,200 euros. Contrary to what the defendant said, the retractions and orders were “not agreed upon,” the judge stressed, citing the victim’s testimony. The defendant, on the other hand, said this was not true: “I’ve never withdrawn money without the victim.” Just minutes later, she said again, “I just recorded something three times.”
Equally adventurous were the attempts to explain the charge of two attempted blackmails with nude photos of the victim who was severely paralyzed: “No, I did not blackmail her,” the Serb emphasized. And that despite the fact that the judge referred to a conversation with the magistrate, where the suspect had actually already admitted the accusation. According to the indictment, the Serb had twice demanded 1,000 euros each, otherwise she would publish the photos.
Ultimately, the defendant, who had a criminal record, made a full confession. The non-final verdict: two and a half years unconditional imprisonment.
