Man wants to reimburse losses and ends up in the Vienna Arrest!

What a strange incident took place on July 16, 2025 in Vienna! A 39-year-old Serbian citizen came to the Handelskai police inspection to file a loss display. According to the first reports of reported.

The background

The police crime statistics (PKS) has recorded every displayed crime since 2001 and provides information about the development of the criminal event in Austria, as explains the Federal Criminal Office . However, the entire dark field of crime is not recorded here, i.e. offenses that are not displayed. This information could be important for the 39-year-old, since in his desperate situation he might have been a different solution than the police could consider.

An official arrest due to unpaved fines is not the most common way in Austria to deal with problems. However, the incident also speaks for the challenges in the area of transparent enforcement and the responsibility of the citizens. Perhaps the man would have been more lucky in another attempt to clarify his affairs. But now he has to bear the consequences of his financial misconduct.

Overall, it shows once again how important it is to be well informed with official matters and not to act prematurely. A well -intentioned visit to the police can quickly become a much more complicated problem.
