For fear of revenge attacks, the first suspect in the multicultural gang has now gone into hiding in Vienna with his parents and two siblings. The family wants to start over in Bulgaria…
Shaban was 15 years old at the time of the crime. He belongs to the 17-member multicultural gang that is said to have abused the then twelve-year-old Anna for months. The shocking case of gang rape also made international headlines. Both the victim and the suspects who are at large (except for one) all live in the hotspot district of Favoriten. Anna can meet you at any time…Unemployed and without incomeShaban spent his childhood in Bulgaria and came to Austria with his parents and two siblings about ten years ago. He attended elementary school, middle school and a year of polytechnic, and the 16-year-old is now unemployed and without income. When questioned by the police about the allegations, the young person insists that he is innocent: “It was all consensual. She never said that she was in pain.” For his lawyer Manfred Arbacher-Stöger, “it was a surprise that the girl reported him for rape weeks later.” The sex was consensual and Anna contacted his client. “Parents believe in innocence” Now the big thing: Shaban disappeared to Bulgaria with his mother and siblings this week! So he is the first of the multicultural gang to leave the country. His father, who had worked for a Turkish baker but was recently without a job, also left Austria for his home country after the apartment was broken up. “The parents believe in their son’s innocence. But the wry looks from the neighbors – the fear of revenge attacks and the shame are too great. “They want to build a new future for themselves in Bulgaria, because there is an upswing there,” the lawyer continued to the “Krone.” And what about the ongoing investigations? Arbacher-Stöger: “The court and the public prosecutor are informed. My client will of course not evade the proceedings and will personally be available for any further interviews in Austria.”
