Tricks with digital vignette: charge of fraud

A 36-year-old man from Salzburg is accused of vignette fraud. He allegedly sold a digital highway sticker to a customer in Flachgau at a discount as an insurance bonus - the injured party was recently ordered to pay a fine of 240 euros.

The 36-year-old from Salzburg works as a sales representative. In September 2023, he sold a digital vignette to a customer from Flachgau as an insurance bonus at a discounted price. Namely for 78 euros.

The injured party then received two penalty notices in May: Because he had driven on the highway without a valid vignette, he was fined 240 euros.

The Flachgau fraud victim filed a complaint - the accused was charged with fraud.
