On Monday afternoon, a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Justice ruled out the possibility of how the inmate was able to escape from the tower wing with the help of a rope. However, she was unable to provide more detailed information on the circumstances of the escape for security reasons. How the inmate managed to escape is still being investigated.
Search unsuccessful so far
The fact is that the man escaped from the locked area of the Wiener Neustadt prison shortly before 8.00 am. Prison guards rushed after the inmate, said Sina Bründler, spokesperson for the Ministry of Justice. Police spokesman Stefan Loidl explained that 13 patrols and service dogs were deployed in the search for the Dutchman. The search for the fugitive prisoner has so far been unsuccessful.
Three men sentenced
The "Rammbock" gang had been tried and convicted in 2024 following jewelry store burglaries in Vienna, Shoppingcity Süd (SCS) in Vösendorf (Mödling district), Donauzentrum and Wiener Neustadt.
Some victims were targeted several times, such as a store for expensive cameras in Vienna-Neubau and a high-end boutique in the inner city.
The group of criminals, who are said to have committed burglaries and an ATM burglary in Markgrafneusiedl (Gänserndorf district) in 2023, are likely to be active internationally. Last October, three Dutch nationals received non-appealable prison sentences ranging from 20 months to nine years.
A Bulgarian, who mainly acted as a contributory offender, was sentenced to 30 months, 20 months of which were conditional.
