After the verdict was announced, she threw up her hands and asked for time to think it over following consulting her legal clerk. The judgment is not final.

The 22-year-old, who has since converted to Islam and wore a headscarf at the trial, did not confess to any of the incriminated facts. Seven years ago, the now young woman and several acquaintances beat, humiliated and insulted a 15-year-old girl in front of a shopping center in Vienna-Donaustadt. The victim suffered a broken jaw. The aggressors filmed the act, the video went viral on Facebook and was viewed more than 4.5 million times and shared tens of thousands of times. Since then, the then 16-year-old violent criminal has had three previous convictions, most recently she got 18 months, partly due.

17 year old robbed

Now it was all regarding a serious robbery of a 17-year-old, in which the 22-year-old was involved, according to the first instance decision. The boy was on his way home on April 17, 2022 – the night before Easter Sunday – when three people followed him as he got off the night bus: a young man and two fully veiled women. The man first asked the 17-year-old for a light and then for money, when he did not receive either, the 17-year-old received a punch in the face. The teenager suffered a displaced multiple fracture of the nose. The women involved took his mobile phone and ransacked his backpack.

Thanks to a video from the surveillance cameras of Wiener Linien, the male suspect might be found – it was the then friend of the now accused, who has already been convicted in a separate trial for the robbery and two physical injuries. He also had an eight-year prison sentence, which is already final. As a witness, the 23-year-old now charged his ex-girlfriend, with whom he says he is still married under Islamic law: “But that doesn’t apply, we have separated.” One of the two fully veiled people recorded by the surveillance camera was “one hundred percent clear” the accused, the other a friend of the 22-year-old, of whom he only knew the first name.

“I wasn’t there”

The 22-year-old denied that: “I wasn’t there.” And she boldly said in the direction of the jury (chairman: Stefan Erdei): “How do you want to recognize who they are in the pictures? You can’t even see their eyes.”

The second charge on which the young woman was found guilty related to her testimony in the trial once morest her ex-boyfriend, in which she is said to have told untruths as a witness. She had firmly denied her involvement in the robbery of the 17-year-old under a duty of truth.
