Shocking: Austrian woman & Neo-Nazi partner arrested after child rescue in Hungary!

An international collaboration has successfully rescued a 12-year-old Austrian girl who was held captive and abused by her own mother in Hungary. The girl was kept in extreme conditions, as a fence showcasing Nazi symbols, a copy of Mein Kampf, and a gun were found in her home. The operation also involved the Counter Terrorism Centre (TEK) and the National Investigation Bureau of the Standby Police (KR NNI).

According to Police.hu, the case was brought to the attention of the Hungarian police by the Austrian authorities after one of the mother’s older children escaped and reported serious physical and psychological abuse.

The police operation and the rescue

The TEK and the KR NNI carried out a carefully planned operation on 25th March. The authorities took special care to ensure that the child remained unharmed and to avoid a possible hostage situation. The operation was carried out without resistance, and the police found the 12-year-old girl safe and sound. The woman had been holding her child captive in undignified conditions. The authorities immediately arranged for the girl’s safety and accommodation.

An extreme background

The international investigation revealed that the Austrian woman had been living with a German man with Neo-Nazi views in a small village in Türje, Hungary. The information suggested that the man with with Nazi-aligned beliefs was also armed, which significantly increased the risk of the operation. The authorities, therefore, had to consider not only the safety of the child but also the need to avoid a possible armed conflict.

The Austrian woman regularly abused several of her children. When the eldest son reached adulthood, he abandoned his mother, and later the middle brother ran away and reported the abuse to the authorities. Following a report, the Austrian police opened an investigation and discovered that the mother had fled to Hungary with her youngest child. The Sárvár Police Station also investigated the case for child endangerment, but the woman left her known whereabouts and went into hiding.

The 49-year-old Austrian woman was arrested by Hungarian police and is currently in custody. The Austrian authorities have requested her extradition, which the court will decide on shortly. The case highlights the importance of international cooperation in the protection of children and the fight against crime.

Symbols of despotism in Hungary

In Hungary, the use of certain symbols is prohibited by law, as they are associated with totalitarian regimes. These include Nazi symbols (such as the swastika, the SS badge, and the Arrow Cross), the sickle and hammer, and the five-pointed red star. Although it is illegal to display them in public places, certain exceptions exist. These symbols can be used legally for educational, scientific, or artistic purposes, for example, in a historical exhibition or documentary.

This case confirms once again that child abuse is a serious social problem that requires cross-border cooperation and decisive action from authorities.
