Overview
- A 17-year-old who stood trial in August in the 'Anna' case and a 21-year-old were taken into custody late last week, according to the 17-year-old's attorney.
- Krone reports the pair are suspected of a June 2 robbery in a Simmering parking garage where pepper spray and punches were used and several hundred euros were stolen.
- Reporting states forensic DNA work linked one detainee to the garage attack, and that suspect allegedly implicated the other.
- Krone also reports the 21-year-old has a prior robbery conviction, while both men had been acquitted in August in the case involving the then-12-year-old known as Anna.
- Separately, prosecutors are investigating seven suspects in a new case alleging severe sexual abuse and related crimes against a then-12-year-old at overlapping Vienna locations, with the presumption of innocence applying to all.
