Four terror suspects arrested for alleged attack plans in Vienna and Cologne were recently released. Now they are threatened with deportation. The quartet was transferred to a police detention center.
According to their lawyer Andreas Schweitzer, the couple, a Tajik (28) and a Turkish woman (27), have received a deportation order that cannot be postponed. An indefinite travel ban was also issued. The reason for this is that there is a “significant risk of danger” that would cause the man not to accept the rule of law or laws. But there are no charges, said Schweitzer, who also announced a complaint.
The other two suspects, a Tajik (30) registered in Germany and a man from Dagestan (40), have also received deportation orders and are already in custody awaiting deportation. The return is being prepared, it was said on Friday afternoon.
The main suspect spoke of murder and kidnapping
The four suspects had been in custody for months. They are said to have planned attacks on St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna and Cologne Cathedral (see video above). It is suspected that they have formed a terrorist cell of the radical Islamist group “Islamic State Khorasan” (ISPK). A total of seven suspects are being investigated in this case for terrorist associations in connection with terrorist crimes.
The 30-year-old main suspect also spoke in telephone conversations about a robbery, a profiteering kidnapping and murder for money. In Vienna he was seen unusually filming St. Stephen’s Cathedral, checking on surveillance cameras and tearing down its walls. The man was arrested at the end of this year on the basis of a European arrest warrant and extradited to the Viennese judiciary. If he were taken into custody pending deportation, he would likely be deported to Germany.
