Natascha Kampusch asks a million euros to the state as compensation

"If the police and the authorities have acted more quickly, Natascha Kampusch had been rescued earlier and would have had to endure for 10 years imprisonment and abuse." With this argument is heading to court the young Austrian was only 10 when he was kidnapped on March 2, 1998, in his usual way to go to school, and seeks damages of one million euros to the state.

His lawyer, Gerald Ganzer, confirmed Wednesday a report published by a newspaper free of Vienna, 'Heute', and explained that the proceedings were filed for damages in early February. "Once completed the process of psychological rehabilitation of the victim and, given that the offender can not expect compensation, since he committed suicide after fleeing victim, who is to demand accountability is to the State" said Ganzer when they turn 13 years of kidnapping.

The inquiry commission that studied the case found several errors in the search for the girl, in those early hours of the abduction, interrogation and during the abductor, Wolfgang Priklopil the electrician, whose white van, the same as that used for transfer the child to a hideout where he would keep locked for more than eight years, was also recorded by the police without a trace was found of the child.

"We've been waiting for the Administration take the lead in the opening of a compensation process, but we run the risk that the victim's right to compensation prescribed, so that on 4 February was made the request. The Republic of Austria now has two months to make a decision, said the lawyer.

On 23 August 2006, being come of age, met Natascha strong enough to escape the influence of those who should be called 'teacher', the that he must obey and serve. He opened the gate of the house was locked, walked the 30 meters to the corner there and ran to freedom, leaving evidence of the inefficiency of years of police.

The million euros claimed, if the figure is confirmed, would be a compensation of 323 euros for each of the 3,096 days that Natascha Kampusch passed into the hands of Wolfgang Priklopil.
