Guilty Verdicts After Knockout Drops Robbery in Lower Austria

According to court information, the convictions are partially final. A 22-year-old prostitute and her possible accomplice, aged 47, were arrested in November of the previous year.
According to the Wiener Neustadt Regional Court, the 47-year-old first defendant received eight and a half years in prison, and the verdict is not final. The 22-year-old second defendant was sentenced to 24 months - eight of which are unconditional - and this verdict is final. The duo was charged with, among other things, robbery.
According to earlier police reports, the 49-year-old had ordered a prostitute to his home via an internet platform on November 26, 2024. During the evening, a companion of the woman also arrived, and alcohol was consumed together. It is believed that the two accused secretly mixed a sedative substance into the 49-year-old's drink.
Lost Consciousness, Money Gone
The man lost consciousness. When he awoke in the morning, his ATM card and cash were missing. He was directly relieved of 100 euros, and a further 2,800 euros were withdrawn using the card. Using his data, the accused are also alleged to have made a transfer order of 10,000 euros from the victim's account, according to the accusation.
Following investigations by the Lower Austria State Criminal Police Office, the police arrested the 22-year-old Romanian woman and the 47-year-old Austrian citizen on November 28 in their apartment in Neunkirchen. In addition to evidence, part of the loot was secured and returned to the victim.
