This conviction is part of a major problem that has been plagued by Austria for some time: ATM protracations that have increased significantly in recent years.

The young woman had got involved with the gang to help her mother in financial difficulties that had arisen after a divorce. On January 14, she met a criminal from the ADDRENGER gang, which consists of Dutch with a Moroccan background. This group specializes in blowing up ATMs all over Europe and acting extremely professionally and quickly. Her deeds usually only last a few minutes, as well as the Puls24 . It seems as if it has been into a network that local helpers need to provide logistical know-how and escape drivers.

from the complicity to arrest

An inconspicuous start to the criminal career. The 20-year-old was hired to rent two cars and take over driving services, for which she was promised a salary between 10,000 and 15,000 euros. Ultimately, however, she only earned 2,000 euros, and most of the money went on the return of a vehicle. On January 21, five members of the gang blew up four ATMs in Liesing in Liesing and caused damage of 1.3 million euros, while the prey was around 90,000 euros.

Investigators were able to uncover a lively exchange between the woman and the arrested gang members by cell phone evaluations. Her arrest finally followed on March 14th.

a dark network

The authority has launched the "SOKO ADDERMAT" to take action against the increase in such offenses, such as the Kleine Zeitung reported. This specific group of bank robbers has now established itself throughout Europe, with 18 explosions in Austria alone in 2025, compared to 13 in the entire year 2024. It is assumed that the perpetrators are often involved in the "Mocro mafia", an organization that is strongly anchored in the drug business.

The perpetrator's procedure is consistently precise and thought out. They use modern tactics such as the use of pyrotechnics and highly motorized escape vehicles that can reach speeds of over 200 km/h. These groups are extremely well organized, consist of 20 to 100 members and have specialized logisticians who scout the escape routes to outsmart the police.

The woman not only has to serve a prison sentence, but also undergo anti-violence training. The judgment could also have an impact on further investigations into their environment, which is involved in the machinations of the Dutch Automatian prirs. These developments make you look and illustrate how important it is to break through the structures of such criminal networks.
