In the Regional Hof van Vienna, the first process of the terrorist network of Beran A. will take place on Monday. Although the accused (19) is not related to the planned attack on a concert by singer Taylor Swift in August 2024, according to the evaluations of mobile phones, the public prosecutor comes to the conclusion: “It can be assumed that this is particularly radicalized is. “
The grief of the Austrian Swift fans was great in August 2024 when the concerts of the popular singer were canceled, a suspicion of terrorism. He strengthened when Beran A. was arrested two days before the first appearance. The 20-year-old who is said to have planned an explosive attack at the Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna on behalf of IS.
Part of the network around Beran A.?
While the research into the terrorist association and criminal organization is going on against Beran A., it will be serious about a friend of his on Monday: a 19-year-old in the regional court of Vienna must answer to terrorist allegations-it should be part of the it is a network around the fast murderer.
“In the course of the refugee crisis in 2015, the accused came to Austria with his mother and sister, where he was looking for asylum. The family then settled in Vienna and the suspect went to school for a few years, “the appearance of the young Iraqis is described in the indictment of the public prosecutor of Vienna. The 19-year-old worked as an electric and building technician until his arrest and U-detacement.
According to evaluations of mobile phones on 10 August 2023, the first signs of radicalization were eventually shown. From this point, the accused photos and videos with propaganda distributed on August 6, 2024, three days before the Swift concert, he placed a loyalty of the terrorist militia on his tap account. However, the investigation did not show that the Iraqi had known or even helped the planned attack.
What could, however, be determined: “The accused was in direct contact with IS member Beran A.” The 19-year-old tried to explain it with a search for an accommodation “a non-durable presentation that also makes a close connection”, “concludes the office of the public prosecutor.
Not the only thing that the client of lawyer Andreas Reichenbach denies: “In a chat he also explicitly informed his counterpart that he was an advocate of IS.” He asked the girl, but to wear full veils and live according to the Islamic ideas.
In the study, the young Iraqi admitted that he had shared the photos, videos and the loyalty installation, but he does not see himself as a member of. It is demonstrated whether he will also enforce this responsibility in the main session in the Regional Court of Vienna – the process is not even advertised for two hours.
More terrorist friends from Beran A. in custody
Two other acquaintances with whom Beran A. reportedly shared his attitude and have followed specific terrorist plans are now known to the public.

He stabbed five people and sometimes injured them life threatening. The young lower Austrian is in custody in Saudi Arabia.
On the other hand, an 18-year-old Viennese is in custody in the prison of Josefstadt-also a friend of Beran A., who is said to know about the attack plans. The research continues.
