Ulrich K., a 68-year-old man from the Palatinate, had a camping holiday on an idyllic Alpine lake in Innsbruck turn into a nightmare. While swimming in the lake, he was approached by two drunken Tyroleans who tried to run him over with a pedal boat. Despite his efforts to avoid the boat, Ulrich ended up injured and fearing for his life as he was pushed underwater.
During the trial, Ulrich described the terrifying experience in detail and expressed his disappointment in the lack of accountability from the two accused individuals. However, despite his testimony, Manuel B. (22) and Martin M. (38) were acquitted due to lack of evidence.
The defendants denied the accusations and claimed that the pedal boat could not have performed the dynamic turning maneuvers described by the prosecution. They also stated that they tried to offer apologies and even a bottle of beer to reconcile with the victim. However, contradictions in their statements were noted by the judge who ruled in their favor due to insufficient concrete evidence.
Despite this outcome, Ulrich expressed his desire to continue visiting Austria for holidays but remained cautious about engaging in water activities. The verdict marked the end of legal proceedings surrounding this incident in Innsbruck court.
