Last summer, 24-year-old Shamil (last name was not disclosed) with a few of his fellow countrymen was walking along the shores of the lake Kaltenloytgeben in Lower Austria. There, the men stumbled upon a resting young couple. The men were outraged that the woman was topless. Without addressing her, the men demanded from her companion that she should immediately dress.

The video, which was shot on a mobile phone and later posted on his Facebook page by the Austrian, shows the accused urging him to “dress his woman.” Otherwise, he threatened to rape the woman and throw him into a ravine.

A young man speaking German with an accent, in a verbal spat with an Austrian, explains his demand by saying that he is bothered by the sight of a woman who is “insufficiently dressed.” When the Austrian asks why he shouldn’t turn away in this case, the man threatens to rape him too. This video was viewed by tens of thousands of people in a matter of days.

The incident was widely known due to the fact that the Austrian turned out to be a famous photographer and blogger Thomas Busek. He secretly filmed what was happening on the camera of his phone and posted it on his Facebook page.

Police announced four men imprinted on video, wanted. The victim and his companion did not even have to write a statement.

As soon as it turned out that the suspects were citizens of Russia who were seeking political asylum in Austria, they out of habit in the press called them Chechens. And it was only at the trial that it turned out that three detainees were from Dagestan, one of Afghanistan. Three were released from criminal responsibility - as the investigation showed, they were only present during the incident.

At trial, the 24-year-old defendant named Shamil denied his guilt.

“I am a man, I am weak. I couldn't bring myself not to look at her. I just wanted her to get dressed,” he told the judge.

At trial, it turned out that the accused had lived for several years as a refugee in Germany before moving to Austria and asking for asylum there. There he was twice convicted for theft and robbery. After the German authorities refused him asylum, he moved to Austria.

In court, Shamil defended one of the most famous Viennese lawyers, Wolfgang Blashnitz.

According to Austrian law, threats and harassment are punished with imprisonment from five months to five years. The court sentenced Dagestan to the minimum term. Considering that he has already spent four months behind bars, in a month he will be released.

However, the criminal prosecution did not end there. Austrian intelligence services found video clips on Shamil’s phone in which he performs nasheeds (chants) “with jihadist content.”
