The 57-year-old had been placed on a wanted list following the discovery of the deceased. He was arrested by local authorities upon his departure from the United Arab Emirates. Austrian law enforcement authorities are currently preparing extradition documents to be transmitted to Dubai.
The body of the elderly woman was discovered late in the evening of 28 May at her secondary residence after she had been reported missing. Firefighting personnel had previously broken down a door. Search dogs then led officers to a wall in the basement area, behind which the deceased was found.
The exact circumstances of death remain unclear. The authorities have ordered a forensic examination, the results of which are still pending. Investigations are being conducted in all directions. One theory suggests that the woman may have been encased in concrete some time ago following a natural death, in order to continue claiming her pension.
