In the courts
- Two young women are on trial in connection with an alleged attack that seriously injured a 29-year-old woman outside Vienna’s Praterdome nightclub.
- The defendants reportedly attacked the woman after a night out, but have struggled to explain their motive.
- A prison guards’ meeting disrupted the court schedule, delaying or canceling some hearings.
Two young women allegedly attacked a 29-year-old woman outside the Praterdome after a night out, leaving her seriously injured. The cousins are now facing trial over the assault, although they themselves apparently cannot really say why it happened.
The case is being heard in Vienna, near the popular nightclub. The proceedings were affected by a staff meeting for prison guards, organized to highlight personnel shortages in the prison system.
Because of the meeting, inmates were not brought from pretrial detention to main hearings or detention-review appointments between 7 a.m. and noon on Thursday. Courts therefore had to move hearings to the afternoon or cancel them altogether.
