We reported on the incredible story earlier. According to the facts, the South Korean man worked as a team leader and the Mongolian man as a cleaner at a site in Komárom. On May 9, 2020, during work, the accused signaled with his hand and called on the victim to climb into the blanket used for collecting garbage. The victim protested, but the accused pushed him into the bag-like foil, pulled up its edges, clamped his mouth shut, so that it remained closed.
After that, he gestured with his hand to one of his colleagues to press the approx. foil bag one and a half meters high. The forklift driver did not know that there was a person inside, so he started compressing the film with the forks of the forklift. During this, the victim cried out, and the forklift operator immediately stopped the operation. The defendant freed the victim, and their colleagues notified the ambulance service.
The victim’s injuries healed in six months, and due to the paralysis of his lower limbs, he developed a permanent disability.
The Tatabánya Court sentenced the accused, as an indirect perpetrator, to 8 years in prison for the crime of attempted murder, and expelled him from the territory of the Republic of Hungary for 10 years. An indirect perpetrator is someone who commits the crime using another person as a tool.
The prosecutor took note of the verdict, and the defendant’s lawyer appealed against it primarily for acquittal and secondarily for mitigation. The General Prosecutor’s Office of Győr proposes that the verdict be upheld, since in its opinion the man is guilty and the imposed punishment is necessary.
The procedure continues in the second instance before the Győr Court of Appeals.
