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

“He was a policeman and lost orientation both in his service and in his private life” – this is how the prosecutor describes the accused, who worked in the police until the end of November 2024 and has since resigned from the service of his own will. 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. The man from Salzburg started 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.
