Here, too, a movable object belonging to someone else is intentionally taken away, so that the entitled party loses actual control over the object and the perpetrator establishes new custody. The focus remains on the <strong>removal of the object itself<\/strong>, not on its damage or alteration. The increased injustice results <strong>from the manner in which the act is carried out<\/strong>, in particular from entering protected areas, overcoming security measures or carrying a weapon or an equivalent means, not from value limits or special external circumstances.   <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>\u00a7 142 of the Criminal Code \u2013 Robbery:<\/strong> Robbery differs from theft by burglary or with weapons in that <strong>violence against a person or dangerous threats<\/strong> are used to enable or maintain the removal.

In the case of theft by burglary or with weapons, on the other hand, <strong>overcoming security measures or carrying a means of committing the crime<\/strong> is in the foreground, without the need for violence against a person. If violence is used or threatened against persons, there is no longer theft under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ris.bka.gv.at\/NormDokument.wxe?Abfrage=Bundesnormen&amp;Gesetzesnummer=10002296&amp;Artikel=&amp;Paragraf=129&amp;Anlage=&amp;Uebergangsrecht=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u00a7 129 of the Criminal Code<\/a>, but robbery with a significantly higher penalty.   <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>\u00a7 125 of the Criminal Code \u2013 Damage to property: <\/strong>Damage to property covers any intentional <strong>impairment of an object belonging to someone else<\/strong>, which worsens its condition or usability.

In the case of aggravated theft, the entitled party loses <strong>the object itself<\/strong>.

The decisive factor is the <strong>method of commission<\/strong>, not the value of the object or the duration of custody. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-subjektiver-tatbestand\">subjective elements of the offence<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The subjective element of theft by burglary or with weapons requires intent. The perpetrator must know that he is <strong>removing a movable object belonging to someone else<\/strong> by depriving the entitled party of actual control over the object and <strong>establishing new custody<\/strong>. He must recognize that the object <strong>does not belong to him<\/strong> and that the removal takes place <strong>without the consent of the entitled party<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The perpetrator must therefore understand that his behavior constitutes a <strong>targeted removal of an object belonging to someone else<\/strong> and is suitable to exclude the entitled party from use and disposal. For the intent, it is sufficient that the perpetrator <strong>seriously considers the removal possible<\/strong> and accepts it; <strong>conditional intent is sufficient<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, the intent must also extend to the <strong>qualifying method of commission<\/strong>. The perpetrator must at least <strong>accept<\/strong> that the removal takes place <strong>by burglary, by overcoming security measures or while carrying a weapon or an equivalent means<\/strong>. It is sufficient that he <strong>seriously considers these circumstances possible<\/strong>. Anyone who assumes that he will not overcome any security measures or carry any means relevant to the offense does not subjectively realize the qualifying characteristic.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, this element also requires an <strong>intent to enrich oneself<\/strong>. The perpetrator must at least accept to procure an <strong>unlawful pecuniary advantage<\/strong> for himself or a third party, for example by keeping, using, passing on or selling the object. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No subjective element exists if the perpetrator <strong>seriously believes to be entitled to the removal<\/strong> or <strong>denies the qualifying method of commission without conditional intent<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<a class=\"mr-cta-link mr-cta-button-cal\" href=\"#h2-booking\" title=\"Free initial consultation\"><span class=\"mr-cta-link-normal\">Select your preferred appointment now:<\/span><span class=\"mr-cta-link-bold\">Free initial consultation<\/span><\/a>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-schuld-amp-irrtumer\">Culpability and mistakes<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/en\/criminal-law\/legal-error\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mistake of prohibition<\/a>:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A mistake of prohibition only excuses if it was <strong>unavoidable<\/strong>. Anyone who engages in conduct that <strong>recognizably interferes with the rights of others<\/strong> cannot claim that they did not recognize the illegality. Everyone is obliged to inform themselves about the <strong>legal limits<\/strong> of their actions. Mere ignorance or a reckless error does not absolve one of responsibility.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Principle of culpability:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only those who act <strong>culpably<\/strong> are punishable. Intentional offenses require that the perpetrator recognizes the essential events and at least <strong>accepts them as a possibility<\/strong>. If this intent is lacking, for example, because the perpetrator mistakenly assumes that their behavior is permitted or is <strong>voluntarily supported<\/strong>, at most negligence exists. This is not sufficient for intentional offenses.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Incapacity to be held accountable:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No guilt is attributed to someone who, at the time of the offense, was unable to recognize the injustice of their actions or to act in accordance with this insight due to a <strong>severe mental disorder<\/strong>, a <strong>pathological mental impairment<\/strong>, or a <strong>significant inability to control their actions<\/strong>. In case of corresponding doubts, a <strong>psychiatric assessment<\/strong> will be obtained. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/en\/criminal-law\/exculpatory-necessity\/\">Excusable state of necessity<\/a>:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An excusable state of necessity may exist if the perpetrator acts in an <strong>extreme situation of duress<\/strong> in order to avert an <strong>acute danger<\/strong> to their own life or the lives of others. The behavior remains unlawful but can have a <strong>mitigating<\/strong> or excusing effect if there was no other way out. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/en\/criminal-law\/erroneous-assumption-of-justifying-circumstances\/\">Putative self-defense<\/a>:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone who mistakenly believes that they are entitled to an act of defense acts without intent if the error was <strong>serious and comprehensible<\/strong>.

This possibility therefore also exists in the case of <strong>qualified forms of theft<\/strong>, provided that the statutory penalty range permits this. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In practice, however, this provision is <strong>applied cautiously<\/strong>, as qualified modes of commission regularly exhibit an <strong>increased injustice<\/strong>. An application is primarily considered if the offense is <strong>at the lower end of the offense<\/strong>, no particularly aggravating means were used, the damage is minor or has already been compensated for, and <strong>no further aggravating circumstances<\/strong> exist.<br\/>In the case of offenses with a <strong>statutory minimum prison sentence<\/strong>, an application is regularly ruled out. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a7 43 StGB: A custodial sentence may be <strong>conditionally suspended<\/strong> if it <strong>does not exceed two years<\/strong> and the perpetrator has a <strong>positive social prognosis<\/strong>. This possibility also exists in the case of <strong>aggravated forms of theft<\/strong>. A conditional suspension is granted more reluctantly if the offense was committed <strong>deliberately<\/strong>, <strong>using special means<\/strong> or with a significantly increased content of injustice. A conditional suspension is realistic above all if the damage has been <strong>fully compensated<\/strong>, the perpetrator is <strong>remorseful<\/strong> and the offense remains within the <strong>lower penalty range<\/strong>.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a7 43a StGB: The <strong>partially conditional suspension<\/strong> allows a combination of unconditional and conditionally suspended parts of the sentence. It is possible for sentences <strong>over six months and up to two years<\/strong>.<br\/>This form can be particularly important if the sentence appropriate to the guilt lies <strong>between six months and two years<\/strong> and there is no statutory minimum prison sentence to the contrary. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/en\/criminal-law\/probation-assistance-and-instructions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u00a7\u00a7 50 to 52 StGB:<\/a> The court may issue <strong>instructions<\/strong> and order <strong>probation assistance<\/strong>.

Since it is an <strong>official offense<\/strong>, the police and public prosecutor&#8217;s office initiate the proceedings <strong>ex officio<\/strong> as soon as a corresponding suspicion exists. A special declaration of the injured party is not required for this.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-polizei-und-staatsanwaltschaft\">Police and Public Prosecutor&#8217;s Office<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The public prosecutor conducts the preliminary investigation and determines the further course of action. The criminal police carry out the necessary investigations, secure evidence, take witness statements, and document the damage. Ultimately, the public prosecutor decides on <strong>discontinuation<\/strong>, <strong>diversion<\/strong>, or <strong>indictment<\/strong>, depending on the degree of culpability, the amount of damage, and the evidence.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beschuldigtenvernehmung\">Interrogation of the Accused<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before each interrogation, the accused person receives full instruction on their rights, particularly the <strong>right to remain silent<\/strong> and the <strong>right to legal counsel<\/strong>. If the accused requests legal counsel, the interrogation must be postponed. The formal interrogation of the accused serves to confront them with the accusation and to provide an opportunity for a statement.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-akteneinsicht\">Access to files<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Access to files can be obtained from the police, public prosecutor, or court. It also includes items of evidence, provided that the purpose of the investigation is not thereby jeopardized. The private claimant&#8217;s joinder is governed by the general rules of the Code of Criminal Procedure and allows the injured party to assert claims for damages directly in criminal proceedings.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hauptverhandlung\">Main Hearing<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main hearing serves for oral evidence taking, legal assessment, and decision-making on any civil law claims. The court particularly examines the course of events, intent, amount of damage, and the credibility of statements.

It is crucial that the perpetrator overcomes a security measure or a protected access and thereby the custody is broken. It is sufficient if the perpetrator gains actual control of the item even only briefly, because the entitled party already loses control as a result. If no burglary or equivalent overcoming of security is demonstrable, it generally remains with the basic offense of \\u00a7 127 StGB.   \"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is it sufficient for \\u00a7 129 StGB if a door was only unlocked?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"An unlocked door does not automatically rule out \\u00a7 129 StGB, but it often makes it more difficult to prove the qualified mode of commission. If the perpetrator simply enters without overcoming a security measure, the typical additional injustice that \\u00a7 129 StGB requires is often lacking. The specific circumstances are decisive, because other qualifying variants such as duplicate keys, unauthorized access codes or the opening of containers can also be relevant. The classification therefore depends on which protective device was actually overcome and whether this can be proven.   \"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What does carrying weapons mean within the meaning of \\u00a7 129 para. 2 StGB? \",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Carrying weapons means that the perpetrator or a participant with his knowledge has a weapon or an equivalent means with him in order to overcome or prevent possible resistance. The weapon does not have to be used, because even the conscious holding in readiness increases the potential for danger. It is crucial that the carrying has a purpose-related connection to the offense and the intent extends to it. If the means is only carried by chance and there is no connection to the removal, \\u00a7 129 para. 2 StGB is not automatically fulfilled.    \"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Which pieces of evidence are typically decisive in the case of burglary?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Typical are objective traces such as break-in damage, tool marks, damaged locks or secured video recordings, because they comprehensibly prove the mode of commission. Electronic data such as access logs, access codes, alarm system logs or location data can also be relevant if they are consistent. Witness statements also play a role, whereby the court pays particular attention to freedom from contradiction and plausibility. Mere assumptions are not sufficient, because the qualifying mode of commission must be specifically demonstrable.   \"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can diversion occur despite \\u00a7 129 StGB?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Diversion is not ruled out from the outset in the case of \\u00a7 129 StGB, but it occurs significantly less frequently than in the case of simple theft. This is because burglary, overcoming security measures or carrying weapons constitute an increased injustice and courts therefore examine more strictly. Chances are more likely if the case is at the lower end, the damage is quickly compensated for and the perpetrator cooperates, because then the guilt can be lower overall. As soon as deliberate action, repetition or noticeable damage are added, the probability decreases significantly.   \"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How high is the penalty range for \\u00a7 129 StGB?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"In the case of \\u00a7 129 para. 1 StGB, imprisonment of up to three years is threatened. In the case of \\u00a7 129 para. 2 StGB, for example in the case of burglary into a dwelling or in the case of carrying weapons, imprisonment of six months to five years is threatened, and a fine is then not provided for. Which variant is applied depends on the specific qualification characteristics and must be proven in the proceedings. In addition, other qualifications such as \\u00a7 128 StGB or commercial commission can lead to a different legal classification.     \"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What should I, as an accused, do first in the event of an accusation under \\u00a7 129 StGB?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"You should consistently exercise your right to remain silent and have access to the files established via the defense before making a statement.

It is sufficient if the perpetrator gains actual control of the item even only briefly, because the entitled party already loses control as a result.
