Vienna Cybercrime Trial – Barak’s attorney blames ‘stupid’ and ‘greedy’ victims for their losses!
The first day of trial in a landmark cybercrime trial against suspected Israeli scam broker operator Gal Barak. The trial began punctually at 9.30 am in Vienna. The trial was also observed by the Austrian lawyer of Barak's Russian partner, Vladislav Smirnov. In addition, EFRI Principal Elfriede Sixt was in the courtroom as representative of the aggrieved small investors. The process is under international observation and is seen as a reference model for further cybercrime processes in the EU.
