Almost all parties are now in favour of a tougher deportation policy. But this case shows how it works in practice: The Afghan Wahab M. (23) cruelly raped a female pensioner (72) in Traiskirchen. He served only a small period of his prison sentence – and has been living in Bad Vöslau ever since.
“I have had enough of these soapbox speeches: Every time something is committed by an asylum seeker, Austria’s politicians firmly affirm that everything will now change, that deportation will now be more consistent. That’s not true at all,” the Viennese lawyer says, providing pretty good evidence for his opinion: His client, a pensioner (72) living near Traiskirchen, was attacked, injured and raped by an Afghan asylum seeker (23) on September 1, 2015. “The perpetrator was quickly identified and sentenced to 20 months in prison at a trial,” the lawyer reports.
But the rapist only had to serve a small period of the sentence – he was free again after 12 months. And he then – despite this crime – did not have to leave Austria: The Afghan Wahab M. still lives in Bad Vöslau today, as an enquiry to the Central Register of Residents has revealed.
So the criminal was not deported, although he had massively abused the right of hospitality. The Viennese lawyer told eXXpress: “It was outrageous that the public prosecutor accepted the lenient sentence at the trial. And because of such lax prosecution, violent bogus asylum seekers are motivated to commit such crimes.”
The victim of the Afghan suffers from severe post-traumatic stress syndrome to this day. The pensioner was only awarded 5,000 euros in compensation for pain and suffering at the trial before the Wiener Neustadt Regional Court. . .
The Ministry of the Interior emphasises that everything is done to get criminal asylum seekers out of the country as quickly as possible. Unofficially, officials told eXXpress: “However, due to the extensive legal advice provided by NGOs, the procedures drag on for years.”
The most recent figures on the deportations of Afghan citizens: From 2017 to May 2021, a total of 2164 Afghans left the country, of which 1316 were forced to do so. 848 Afghan citizens left Austria voluntarily.
