After conviction: Siegfried Mauser does not serve his sentence – Munich
The convict should have reported to prison by 2 p.m. on February 1. A court must now decide whether the 67-year-old will be brought before the police. His plea for clemency was denied.
According to information from the prison in Salzburg, the convicted sex offender Siegfried Mauser did not start his sentence at the prescribed time. As prison director Dietmar Knebel told the SZ, the former director of the Munich Music Academy should have presented himself to Puch-Urstein prison “during office hours until 2 p.m.” by February 1. The court will now be informed of his absence. This must then decide whether the 67-year-old will be presented by the police. A plea for clemency that Mauser had made to the Austrian Federal President was rejected.
In October 2019, the Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe confirmed the judgment of the Munich Regional Court in the last instance: Accordingly, Mauser was behind bars for two years and nine months for sexual assault in several cases. During his time as director of the music academy, Mauser repeatedly sexually assaulted a singer who applied for a position with him.
Mauser led to various diseases in order not to have to go to prison
Before his scheduled start of imprisonment in Germany, Mauser moves to his Austrian place of residence in Salzburg. Here, too, he received a request to take up custody, but asserted various illnesses through his lawyers. However, experts attested to Mauser at the beginning of the year that he was probably liable. The regional court in Salzburg ordered Mauser to appear in Puch-Urstein by February 1st. Vain.
According to Reinhard Pirckl-Herk, spokesman for the Austrian Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen, a plea for mercy had been received from Mauser. However, it is common practice not to show mercy for “crimes of this kind”. A request from the SZ to Mauser’s lawyer for his whereabouts remained unanswered.
