He wanted to avoid an argument with his girlfriend and not justify himself, so a man from the Canton of Zurich lied to the police without further ado. For this he has now received a penalty order, like the «Country messenger»Reported.
On that evening of June 27, 2017, the now 26-year-old had fun. The man from the canton of Zurich drank alcohol and took drugs in a friend’s apartment. Cannabis and coke.
It was getting late that evening. Apparently so late that he suspected he had to explain himself to his girlfriend at home. And he had absolutely no desire to do that.
Three Afghans allegedly tied him to a tree
His solution: He went straight to the Zurich canton police in the morning – and brought up a story of robbers. He claimed that he was ambushed by three Afghans. They would have taken the service wallet with 700 francs from him and then the Afghans tied him to a tree.
A man with a dog who happened to be walking by would have freed him. He would not have called the police because the man from Zurich asked for it.
He has to pay a fine plus procedural costs
In the second survey, the 26-year-old finally rowed back. He was robbed but not tied to a tree. When it came to the third interview, he finally admitted that he had just made up the whole story.
He did not want to justify himself in front of his girlfriend for the evening with the drugs. So he invented the robbery – and thus kept the police on their toes unnecessarily. For this, the man was convicted of misleading the administration of justice and drug consumption, as reported by the “Landbote”. The penalty: 2000 francs fine plus procedural costs of almost 2000 francs. (jmh)
