The Latest on the Leonie Case
12th July 2021
As I reported last month, a 13-year-old Austrian girl was doped, raped, and strangled by four Afghan “youths” in what seems to be a classic instance of what is commonly called “grooming”.
Since then a third suspect has been arrested, and the fourth is still on the run, probably outside the country. The case has caused an uproar in the country, with native Austrians divided into two groups: on the one hand, politically correct people who vehemently deny any correlation between ethnicity and criminality, and on the other, more traditional Austrians who are outraged by the atrocity and demand changes in the country’s asylum laws.
