After the CIA deputy director’s shocking statement about “tens of thousands of planned victims at the Swift concert,” lawyers for the top terror suspects sprang into action. “My client is going to be a father soon. He probably won’t blow up the stadium,” said top defense attorney Nikolaus Rast.
For celebrity lawyer Werner Tomanek, who according to the court file represents the 19-year-old suspected terrorist mastermind, the new allegations and the planned number of victims from America are “bizarre”. “In the US, everything is bigger. But my client is certainly not a top terrorist.”
And he is sharply critical of domestic investigations: “The bin where he threw away the alleged bomb-making remains is for organic waste and was not locked. He was wearing the FFP2 mask and gloves because he was terrified of maggots.”
The defense attorney now wants to refute the serious accusations together with the renowned explosives expert Ingo Wieser. “It’s all theatrical thunder. The hydrogen peroxide is available in every drugstore, the Bipa has sulfuric acid in the drain cleaner.” Tomanek also announces a press conference with further “revelations” that “will certainly also interest Swift fans.”
“They are known and live in the same village.”
Nikolaus Rast, the lawyer for the second 17-year-old terror suspect in custody, follows the same line. “Both have been known for years because they live in the same ‘village’ (Ternitz, note).”
According to the young man, who denies any involvement, he was simply unlucky enough to be attacked by state security as a scaffolder on the concert stage in the stadium. And the visits to a notorious Islamic prayer house that is too radical even for the Islamic Religious Community (IGGÖ)? Rast: “He only visited the mosque in Vienna because his girlfriend lives practically next door.”
Terror suspect becomes father
The accusations of involvement in terrorism are also “ridiculous” for another reason: “Both (the 17-year-old and his girlfriend, note) are expecting a child. She is three months pregnant. My client probably won’t be planning to blow up the Ernst Happel Stadium.”
The Directorate of State Security and Intelligence (DSN) sees things differently. The 19-year-old had warned his 17-year-old friend not to be in the stadium for the first – later cancelled – Swift concert… The suspected terrorist duo is still accused of terrorist organisation (Article 278b of the Criminal Code) and criminal organisation (§ 278a of the Criminal Code).
