Instrument embezzled
“The devil talked me into it!”
A 41-year-old father wanted to sell an instrument he had found in order to pay off his large debts. Now he has to do community service for embezzlement.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Easy come, easy go, thought a 41-year-old man when he saw a lucrative source of money quickly disappear. The father of the family came into possession of a valuable trumpet by chance: after a family celebration, the Turkish man, his wife and their three children took the train home. When changing trains in St. Pölten, suitcases and bags were hastily gathered together - along with an additional piece of luggage.
"Didn't you notice that you had an extra suitcase with you?" Ms. Rat asked the man accused of embezzlement at the court in St. Pölten. "No, we were on the edge of our seats for two days. I was drunk," he justifies himself. The instrument case had previously been left in the luggage rack of the train by a conscript in the military band. A short time later, the young musician's father discovered the trumpet on an internet sales platform. The 41-year-old was offering the instrument, which cost almost 6,000 euros, for sale for 4,500 euros. "I first had to google what something like that is worth," he explains.
"The devil persuaded me not to abandon my three children," the accused continued. High debts would have driven him to the desperate act. "It was wrong, but I had no other choice," he apologized to the 19-year-old. The Turkish man now has to do 60 hours of community service - legally binding.
