When it comes to securing digital evidence, Carinthia's IT forensic experts work at a top international level. In individual cases, however, the local experts also reach their limits.

As the "Krone" has learned from legal experts, it will apparently be some time before the case of the horrific fatal shooting in the Türk barracks in Spittal an der Drau last October goes to trial. The reason: the judiciary wants to know whether there may have been problems between the perpetrator and the victim beforehand - and to check this on the basis of the data stored on the respective cell phones.
