Austrian kidnap victim Natascha Kampusch wants justice: accusations surfaced that authorities ignored tip that led to her captor, and Interior Ministry wouldn't investigate to avoid scandal before Parliamentary elections
Mon Feb 11, 8:38 PM ET
A young Austrian woman whose kidnapper kept her locked away in a cell for years said Monday she lost faith in her country's judiciary after accusations surfaced that authorities ignored a tip that could have led to her captor.
Natascha Kampusch was 10 when Wolfgang Priklopil abducted her in 1998. He held the girl for the next 8 1/2 years, most of the time in the tiny underground cell in his home in a Vienna suburb. Kampusch escaped in August 2006, and Priklopil threw himself in front of a train hours later.
Herwig Haidinger, the former head of Austria's Federal Criminal Investigations Bureau, last week accused authorities of ignoring a tip in April 1998 from a local policeman that pointed to Priklopil. He also alleged that Interior Ministry officials refused to look into that accusation once Kampusch reappeared, so to avoid a scandal before parliamentary elections that fall.
Kampusch said in a television interview with Austrian broadcaster ORF late Monday that she was angry, had lost faith in the country's judiciary, and she called for those who did not pursue the clue to be "held responsible."
"When one makes a mistake one should somehow try to make things right again, or to learn from it," Kampusch said.
She said she was consulting with her lawyers on whether to sue.
"It's not about money but about justice," Kampusch said.
The Interior Ministry has launched an evaluation commission to look into the accusations.

Austria reels at cover-up of the Natascha Kampusch kidnap fiasco
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article3382350.ece
Rest assured, if politicians careers are on the line, especially in the run up to a general election, they will always lie and cover up any wrong doing and criminality that they may have been involved in or not acted on when they should have.
There are parallels to what happened in this case, in the run up to the Austrian elections, with the appalling Mr X abuse and neglect scandal in Edinburgh, Scotland, where, to protect and cover up for his friend and colleague Kenny MacAskill MSP, Scotland’s First Minister, Alex Salmond MSP, failed to take any action in the case concerned knowing that the scandal could prove fatal in the run up to the Scottish elections on 3 May 2007. Salmond went on to appoint MacAskill as Scotland’s new “Justice” Secretary, and 13 letters later to Salmond (since 12 February 2007 … the most recent going on Thursday 14 February 2008), he, MacAskill and the ruling Scottish National Party (SNP) “Government” continue to bury the horrific case concerned at SNP HQ in central Edinburgh. A massive cover up, criminal collusion and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice by Scotland’s First Minister, “Justice” Secretary and the SNP hierarchy to protect the guilty for their appalling inaction, wrong doing and repeated whitewashing of the case concerned. Scandalous.
As Natascha said herself : “If one makes a mistake, one should try to fix it and learn from it. It’s not about money; it’s a matter of justice being done.”
And that is true of the Mr X abuse and neglect scandal in Edinburgh too.

News Release (abridged)
Re Letter of Thursday 3 April 2008 to First Minister of Scotland, Alex Salmond MP
Refusal to release the case file documents and photographs by the SNP "Government" in the shocking Mr X case, will be mirrored in every other case in Scotland now requesting "disclosure" from the Scottish Crown Office ... under the rule of Messrs Salmond and MacAskill
A very arrogant, smug, devious and tyrannical First Minister of Scotland, Alex Salmond MP, refuses to unreservedly apologise, admit his wrong-doing, continually covers up for close friends and then eventually just tells a very frail, ill and desperate 84-year-old lady (just a stone's throw away from his very palatial Edinburgh residence) to "clear off and don't bother me again" ... after 14 very gruelling and traumatic months of pleading with him for help and the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation
Mr X abuse and neglect scandal, Edinburgh , Scotland, UK - an SNP "Government" cover up
Comparisons to Natascha Kampusch case made with the Mr X abuse and neglect scandal in Edinburgh, Scotland
__________
First Minister of Scotland, Alex Salmond MP, STILL covers up neglect and abuse case ... in the case of a brain damaged man left to rot like a wild animal for several years
Massive, harrowing, damning and incriminating case file documents and photographs STILL remain unlawfully withheld and deeply buried at SNP HQ in central Edinburgh, in a blatant attempt to cover up the case from the public / media spotlight and protect the main protagonists involved in this 9 year long whitewash - not least Scotland's so-called Cabinet Secretary "for Justice", Kenny MacAskill MSP.
In short: Criminal collusion at the very top of Scotland's SNP "Government" - overseen and approved by Alex Salmond MP / MSP - to cover up the Mr X case.
Please help to highlight and expose the terrible injustice, wrong-doing, most heinous neglect of "care" and cover up that is the appalling Mr X case ... in the interests of the TRUTH, fairness, human rights, compassion and JUSTICE.
I am grateful for your time and look forward to hearing from you.

Some quotes from Mr X case:
"The best years of his life have been completely wasted, ruined and destroyed and can never be given back to him... NOTHING will ever compensate for what's happened to him now...
"I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one who failed Mr X, although I would like to be able to say that someone in my profession had helped him... "
"Yet still nothing was done. To the detached observer it seems at best incredible, and at worst heinously negligent, that no-one properly intervened."

Dear Mr Salmond,
Request for the return of confidential photographs and files from the SNP - Letter No.17 (Since 12 February 2007) Requesting Same
Thank you for your last letter of 3 weeks ago. My apologies for this delay in responding, but I have been very unwell and can’t deal with matters as I would ordinarily prefer.
I have now copied my last letter to you of Thursday 3 April to Mr MacAskill twice, but get no response.
Perhaps you could now intervene in this very serious case of the terrible abuse, neglect and ill-treatment of my son over the past 19½ years – as I have been asking (begging and pleading with you in effect) over the past 15 months, since my first letter of 12 February 2007.
Thank you for your time and full co-operation.
I look forward to hearing from you personally in early course.
As with all previous letters to you, this letter will be copied to both your constituency office and the Scottish Parliament.
