VIENNA, Feb 16 (Reuters) - Austrian prosecutors have filed terrorism-related and other charges against a now 21-year-old suspect arrested shortly before a 2024 Taylor Swift concert in Vienna that they said he planned to carry out an Islamist militant attack against.
The Vienna prosecutors’ office planned to bring a criminal case against the unnamed suspect, whom Austrian media have identified as Beran A, accusing him of producing a small amount of the explosive triacetone triperoxide and attempting to purchase weapons illegally, it said in a statement on Monday.
Beran A’s lawyer was not immediately available for comment.
