Fake Teacher Caught After 14 Years Due to Lost Wallet

Since 2010, the man worked as a teacher in Upper Austria, Lower Austria, and Vienna, even though he was expelled from his studies in 2005. With a forged diploma, he secured positions with various educational directorates.
Wallet Discovery Triggered Investigations
The case came to light by chance: In August 2024, the man's lost wallet was found in Perg and handed over to the police. Inside were an obviously forged police ID and several student IDs. This aroused the officers' suspicion and led to extensive investigations.
Impeccable Teaching – But Now Multiple Charges
Interestingly, there were no complaints about his teaching methods throughout his entire teaching career. He was most recently employed at a middle school in Steyr. The 48-year-old confessed and is now being charged, among other things, with forgery of particularly protected documents and fraudulently obtaining a position.
