The next chapter is about the deportation of the 29-year-old Tajik who, together with his wife and an ISIS man living in Germany, is said to have planned an attack on St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna during the Christmas period. The negotiations lasted for hours in Vienna on Friday.
As reported by the “Krone”, the suspected Islamist has fought the deportation order by applying for asylum: “I would like to say that I cannot return. I am a member of the political ‘Group 24’. The government in Tajikistan believes that we are a terrorist group,” he said. After the asylum application was rejected, the cases continued in the Federal Administrative Court on Friday. Or start over from the beginning.
Suspected accomplices have already been deported
The co-defendant, who lives in Germany, has long since returned to his former home and the wife of the suspected IS fanatic, a Turkish woman, has already been deported despite the ongoing investigation by the Vienna Public Prosecutor’s Office. She was also given a four-year entry ban. She is now back in Turkey, where the couple’s three small children also live with their grandparents. A fourth suspect committed suicide in prison.
Just like a few weeks ago, the 29-year-old Tajik is being taken out of detention to await deportation to Erdberg under heavy security. On his cell door in the police detention center hangs a note that reads: “Attention, dangerous – so half a dozen WEGA officers are waiting in front of the Federal Administrative Court for the police bus that will accompany the minor suspect to the house. .
To date, the suspect, who was released in May due to lack of strong suspicion and was held in custody pending deportation, has not missed a single legal opportunity to remain in Austria. Because he had applied for asylum, the first deportation order from the Federal Office for Immigration and Asylum was revoked. Therefore, the hearing will start again from scratch on Friday, with a different judge than in June.
Dispute over embezzled parts of the files
After just a few minutes, a dispute arose between lawyer Andreas Schweitzer and the judge. It concerns parts of the files that have been removed from the files but that should be used in the trial: “The whole thing is a farce!” Schweitzer is annoyed: “If you try to deport someone as quickly as possible against whom there is something, no urgent suspicion of a crime, to please politicians?”
Negotiations lasted eight hours on Friday, during which the suspect was questioned extensively. In the end, there is no decision again. The judge wants to consider this coming weekend whether he will reopen the evidence process. “I have submitted several proposals that are essential for the decision-making process,” Schweitzer explains. If the evidence procedure remains closed, the decision will be made in writing.
