AUSTRIA will re-run its presidential election on October 2 – the same day Hungary holds a referendum on the European Union’s mandatory migrant quotas.

 

  1. Nine Iraqi asylum seekers have been arrested on suspicion of gang rape
  2. Comes after a German woman was attacked in Vienna on New Year's Day
  3. She was taken from train station to apartment where she was assaulted
  4. Woman believes she was drugged as she can't remember going to the apartment 
  5. Police in Vienna confirmed that the men aged between 21 and 47 were detained and all were either granted asylum in Austria or applying for it.
  6. Officers are now using DNA evidence and video surveillance to build their case. 
  7. All nine of the men deny the accusations. 


Nine Iraqi refugees have been arrested in Austria on suspicion of gang-raping a 28-year-old German woman in a case that could ignite debate of immigration and crime ahead of this Autumn’s presidential election re-run.

The arrest of the nine Iraqis, all either asylum seekers or recently granted asylum, comes as Austria’s anti-immigrant Freedom Party seeks to over-turn the result of June’s presidential election after mounting a successful legal challenge to pave the way for a re-run on October 2.

The arrests were made over the weekend, police confirmed, after DNA evidence and CCTV camera footage was used to build a case against the nine asylum seekers.
