Court in Austria Begins Trial Against Crypto Robbery Gang
In the Austrian city of Wels, five men must answer in court for a robbery and theft amounting to approximately 210,000 euros in cryptocurrency.
The mastermind is reportedly a 21-year-old Upper Austrian who planned the robbery together with his father, who has a prior criminal record and will be tried separately.
The five men involved are charged with kidnapping, aggravated robbery, coercion, and extortion. Some defendants, who mostly confessed according to their lawyers, claimed they thought it was just a debt collection action.
One man had apparently invested a five-digit sum with the robbed crypto trader and lost it. He intended to collect this "debt," but the situation escalated into what he described as a "terrible dynamic."
During the robbery, the perpetrators pretended to be postal delivery workers to gain access to the apartment. They tied the trader with tape to a chair in a storage room and also tied up the traders partner and their baby in the bedroom.
The victims were threatened with knives for an hour and a half to reveal access codes to various online exchanges. The men stole cryptocurrency worth 210,000 euros, which one perpetrator managed to transfer, as well as jewelry, gold coins, electronic devices, and expensive designer clothing.
This case highlights a violent home invasion linked to cryptocurrency theft using deception by false postal workers in Wels, Austria Gericht in Österreich beginnt Verfahren gegen Krypto-Räuberbande, In der österreichischen Stadt Wels müssen sich fünf Männer wegen eines Überfalls und Raubes von umgerechnet 210.000 Euro vor Gericht verantworten... .

Wels: Turkish Bitcoin Trader Attacked by Chechen Thugs
The rise of the cryptocurrency Bitcoin is attracting more and more criminals. Recently, a trial was held in the Upper Austrian city of Wels against a five-member gang of robbers. There, two Austrian main perpetrators hired three Chechen thugs the previous year to jointly attack a Turkish Bitcoin trader. During the assault on the Bitcoin trader's apartment, his wife was dragged by her hair and abused, and threats were made to kidnap their nine-month-old baby.
Intimidated by the continued extortion and coercion, the Bitcoin trader revealed access codes to his Bitcoin wallets to the violent intruders, allowing them to withdraw approximately 210,000 euros in cryptocurrency.
