Stalker attack in Graz: The police shoot-suspicious seriously injured!

Graz, Österreich - in Graz recently occurred a dramatic incident that once again raises concerns about domestic violence and the effectiveness of prohibitions from rising. A 43-year-old man from Bosnia ignored a legal prohibition that prohibited him from approaching his ex-wife. This ban was imposed on women due to previous violence and threats. The Bosnian stayed near the apartment of his ex on Friday evening, which ultimately led to a violent police operation. According to Kosmo, a patrol discovered the man in a parked car around 9 p.m.

When the police spoke him, the suspect first tried to flee. But that's not all - he raced directly towards the officials at high speed. In an emergency, the police pulled their service weapons and opened the fire, which led to the man seriously injured. The officers immediately helped first aid and went to medical care. He is currently in the intensive care unit, while a police officer was also injured in the operation. The public prosecutor has already issued an arrest warrant against the man and initiated a procedure for attempted murder.

The topic of prohibition of rectification

prohibitions are judicial measures that are supposed to protect people are at risk of being mentally or physically threatened by another person. They are often issued in cases of domestic violence, stalking or harassment. The aim of these bans is to offer victims security and protect them from further attacks. According to Juraforum, such bans can be enacted in different ways - either as an injunction or as a judicial ban in the context of a criminal proceedings.

In our current case, the ex-wife of the Bosnian had already successfully applied for a ban on rectification that forbidden him to stay with her within a certain distance. In the event of an infringement, the perpetrator threatens both orders and criminal consequences. The Violence Protection Act forms the legal basis for these measures and stipulates that corresponding orders can be made by the family court.

The relevance of violence prevention

This incident in Graz once again illuminates the difficulties that exist in the implementation of rapprochement ries. According to Rightmart, such bans can usually be imposed for a period of six months or more, depending on the special circumstances of the individual case. But what happens if these rules are disregarded? Perpetrators expect perpetrators for up to one year of imprisonment or high fines.

The tragedy of these events is reinforced by the fact that the topic of domestic violence is often swept under the carpet. It takes a more intensive dialogue and measures to ensure that those affected receive the necessary support and protection. The investigation in Graz is now monitored by the independent investigation and complaint agency of the Federal Office for Combating Corruption in order to carefully examine the circumstances of the use of firearms by the police.

Overall, it remains to be hoped that such tragic incidents will not only be regarded as individual cases, but as an urgent request to improve the legal framework for protection against violence and to raise awareness in society.
