Penalty for the former officer – falsified accident report and shared information from the raid

“He was a policeman and lost orientation both on duty and in his private life” – this is how the prosecutor describes the defendant, who worked in the police until the end of November. At Thursday’s hearing before the District Court in Salzburg, the accused were charged with abuse of power, breach of professional secrecy and possession of small amounts of drugs. Salzburger began using drugs in 2022. “This resulted in more serious charges being brought,” the prosecutor said. In 2023, at the request of a fellow co-accused, he falsified the confirmation of a road accident – in connection with parking damage amounting to EUR 1,800.
