A 20-year-old Hungarian woman is said to have faked a pregnancy and claimed she needed financial resources for an ongoing legal case in her home country, according to police reports on Tuesday. When the man no longer wanted to pay, he was allegedly blackmailed. A man and a woman are also considered suspects. The trio was arrested in Wiener Neustadt.

The three accused Hungarians are said to have extorted, coerced, and defrauded the victim as part of a criminal organization from April 2024, according to a statement from the Lower Austrian police. The 23-year-old filed a report at the beginning of March this year. He had come into contact with two prostitutes through an online platform. The two women allegedly coaxed cash out of him. According to reports, prostitution was illegally practiced in an apartment in the Baden district, where the 23-year-old also met the three suspects. When he no longer wanted to pay from October of the previous year, he was threatened with violence and the destruction of his economic existence.

During investigations and extensive inquiries in the red-light district, a 30-year-old man and woman were identified as suspects. The two were arrested in Hungary. The 20-year-old was handcuffed in Germany. They were extradited to Austria in April and May. During their interrogation, they partially confessed or refused to testify, it was reported.
