Wasn't there a famous serial killer in Austria that preyed on prostitutes. Jack Unterweger IIRC. (Sp?)

Is prostitution illegal today in Austria, abaris?

Yeah, maybe we should be proud of him. He was an international serial killer actually. Started his career in 1974, if I'm not mistaken, then wrote a book and got released in 1990 or so because of good conduct. Was the darling of the Austrian jet set afterwards, who loved to take him in and present him as their pet project of reformed criminal. By all accounts he continues killing right away. In all Austrian states, and this being the early 90ies, the county police forces had no means of connecting the dots. Killed in the Czech republic too and on the American East coast while supposedly working as a journalist interviewing law enforcenment officers in Miami.

Our Authorities already had a warrant on him out back then and the Americans suspected him too. But since the Austrian case seemed stronger, they extradited him to Vienna and he went on trial at Graz, if I remember correctly. They had no solid evidence, just circumstantial evidence. The jury found him guilty anyway and he got life. Now this being Europe, life is usually a stretch of 15 to 25, but given all the crimes he's been found guilty of, there's the instrument of security custody. If the perp is found to be a clear and present danger, there was no chance of him ever being released to the general public again. He committed suicide shortly after receiving his sentence. According to high ranking police officers th best proof of his guilt. Because for hanging himself he used the exact same knot that was used to strangle the prostitutes.
