The investigation against a 20-year-old suspect in the serial bomb threat case is currently ongoing independently in Austria and Switzerland. However, the Public Prosecution Service in the canton of St. Gallen assumes that it will respond to a request to take over the criminal prosecution. This was provided by the Linz Public Prosecutor’s Office.
More than two weeks after security authorities located the alleged author of a series of threatening emails against numerous institutions in Austria, an independent investigation is underway in both Switzerland and Austria. This was announced by the main public prosecutor’s office of Linz and the canton of St. Gallen. There is nothing new in the case itself.
Temporary arrest
A 20-year-old Swiss man is suspected of having written the threatening emails against train stations and schools. Following a request for legal assistance from Austria, a house search was carried out in Switzerland and the young man was temporarily arrested.
After initial delays, the minutes of his interrogation and the results of the search have now arrived in Linz. The reports are currently being evaluated, among other things, it says.
Application to take over the criminal prosecution
The Swiss are also still conducting research. Since their compatriot will not be extradited, the Linz Public Prosecutor’s Office has submitted a request to the judicial authorities of the neighboring country to take over the prosecution. The spokesperson for the authorities in the canton of St. Gallen assumes that Switzerland will take over the prosecution.
