Gosposki razbojnik Franc Jožef Vodnik (1691–1716) iz Krškega ter njegove domače in mednarodne kriminalne zveze

In 1716, Franc Jožef Vodnik, a burgher son from Krško and a travelling student, who was tried for banditry before the blood court at Šrajbarski Turn Castle near Krško together with his servant, gave descriptions of forty-three other, mostly young criminals with whom he had come into contact mainly in Vienna but also in Lower and Upper Austria. A quarter of them were students (eleven), including three who returned to the right path and became priests. A good quarter of the young men (twelve), including half of the travelling students (six), came from Slovenian territory (one from Styria and the rest from Carniola). Vodnik died of gangrene as a result of an attempted escape by jumping, and three of his accomplices from Carniola were sentenced to death the following year and executed in a group of ten criminals in the Lower Austrian town of Krems an der Donau.
