The incident is said to have occurred in the early hours of last Thursday morning in a hotel in the Landstraße district. The 34-year-old reportedly spent time there with two sex workers whom he had met previously through a website. The group also drank alcohol together, the police reported on Monday.

Eventually, the man reportedly felt dizzy. What exactly led to this is currently unclear.

According to his statements, the two women took his phone. While he was dazed, they allegedly held the device in front of his face to unlock it.

Subsequently, the women are said to have made several transfers to different accounts. According to the police, these involved amounts in the lower to mid-range euro area.

Whether the man himself consumed too much alcohol or other substances, or whether he was deliberately drugged, is currently unclear. Investigations are ongoing.

The two women are currently at large. Individuals who can provide information about their identity or whereabouts are asked to contact the Vienna State Criminal Police Office, Center/East branch. Tips can also be given anonymously.

The police can be reached at the phone number 01 31310-62800.
