According to foreign media, including Kronen Zeitung, Austria's 34-year-old man A was sentenced to eight years in prison by the Vienna District Court for avoiding responsibility after making his 14-year-old son and his son's friend commit armed robbery.
According to the prosecution's report, A committed robbery with his 14-year-old son and his 17-year-old son's friend.
While his son and son's friend committed crimes at seven places, including convenience stores and gas stations, with pistols and knives, he sat in a vehicle to escape and watched.
Eventually, they were arrested by the police, and A said, "My son and son's friend persuaded me to participate in the crime", shirking his responsibility.
Prosecutors pointed out that A was the main culprit behind the crime, presenting mobile phone recordings as evidence, but he continued to deny it and claim that he was only an accomplice.
Then, just before his son appeared in court, he admitted all the crimes and changed his position that he encouraged him.
The court said "How can a minor son and a son friend be brought into the crime? It's like ruining children's lives""If we had admitted it earlier, we could have saved a lot of time. "
The court sentenced A to eight years in prison, and sentenced his son, who recently turned 15, to three and a half years in prison, and his son's friend, who is 17, to two and a half years in prison.
However, each of the children was sentenced to parole one year after imprisonment and 10 months after imprisonment.
