Adolescent brandishes knife to extort money from schoolmates
In a recent incident at a youth center in Kalsdorf, Graz-Umgebung, two suspected youths were stopped by police patrols following a reported knife threat. The altercation unfolded in the afternoon, with one of the stopped youths claiming to be 17 years old, but later insisting he could not be arrested as a 13-year-old.
The 13-year-old, hailing from Graz, repeatedly behaved disrespectfully and aggressively towards the intervening officers. He also demanded cash from the victim, but no information is provided about the outcome of the police investigation regarding this alleged demand. The 13-year-old was provisionally arrested and taken to the Kalsdorf police station for further clarification.
The use of false identification is illegal in Austria and can lead to criminal charges, including fraud or forgery offenses, depending on the context and intent. While the search results do not provide explicit statutory quotes for false identification laws, these principles are consistent with Austrian and EU legal standards.
Under Austrian law, minors have special protections during arrest. They must be informed about their rights in an age-appropriate way, have the right to legal counsel, and the presence of a guardian or trusted adult during questioning and legal procedures. Arrest and detention conditions for minors differ from those for adults, emphasizing rehabilitation and protection. The authorities must respect the minor’s dignity and best interest in all procedures.
The 13-year-old from Graz did not confess to the incident after investigations, and the current status of the second stopped youth is not specified in the text. The 13-year-old will be reported to the Graz Public Prosecutor's Office for attempted severe robbery. No information is provided about any injuries or harm that may have occurred during the incident.
It is important to note that specific procedural details for minors and false ID offenses would be found in Austria’s penal and juvenile procedural codes, not fully detailed in the search results. For exact legal references, one would consult the Austrian Criminal Code (Strafgesetzbuch) for false identification and the Juvenile Courts Act (Jugendgerichtsgesetz) or related child protection laws for minors’ rights during arrest.
