Process After Foiled Attack on Taylor Swift Concert in Vienna: 18-Year-Old Appeals Verdict

According to his statement, the 18-year-old's defense attorney filed an appeal for nullity and a criminal appeal upon request from the APA. On the other hand, the public prosecutor's office does not expect an appeal, as was announced on Tuesday by the responsible public prosecutor's office in Vienna.

18-Year-Old Convicted of Terrorist Association and Criminal Organization

Luca K. was convicted of terrorist association and criminal organization. He had shared propaganda material of the terrorist organization "Islamic State" (IS) and praised the Vienna attacker. Not part of the indictment and therefore not subject to the proceedings was an initially alleged involvement of Luca K. in attack plans against the second of a total of three scheduled performances by Taylor Swift at the Happel Stadium last August. From the prosecutor's point of view, there was a lack of sufficient evidence for this.
