The judge asked the main perpetrator, who was involved in most of the crimes, why: “I wanted to pay back debts.” He is in debt for 70,000 euros – it is about payments from a serious bodily injury he caused. He remained silent about further details, such as his accomplices or a chat group organizing the break-ins. He even didn’t want to recognize himself when the judge played the surveillance video of an outdoor pool break-in. “I can’t remember and don’t want to say anything,” he said. Victim’s lawyer Stefan Launsky asked whether he was able to use the loot to pay off part of the debt: “No, I lost the money.” The judge asked how: “I hid it.” He didn’t want to say where . But now it is apparently gone.
