The Vienna police have succeeded in tracking down a suspected online fraudster after several commercial fraud offenses.

The suspect is said to have offered electronic items on an online sales platform in August 2025, but after receiving the purchase amounts, never delivered them to the buyers.

The 39-year-old, who used a German IBAN and lives in Vienna-Margareten, is suspected of having defrauded at least six people. The damage caused amounts to a mid-three-digit sum. During the investigation, it was revealed that there were already three arrest warrants for fraud against the accused – one from Germany and two from Austria. The 39-year-old was transferred to a correctional facility.
