2024年にウィーンで開催予定だったテイラー・スウィフトの「Eras Tour」を標的にしたテロ計画を未然に防いだ件で、ベラン・Aと特定されたオーストリア人の男に対し、5月28日、禁錮15年の判決が言い渡された。
21歳のこの被告は4月に襲撃共謀の罪を認めた一方、その他の容疑については無罪を主張していた。検察側によると、被告はエルンスト・ハッペル・スタジアムの外に集まるファンをナイフや爆弾で襲撃する計画を立てていた。同公演は各夜6万5000人の動員が予想されており、スタジアム周辺には最大で3万人ものファンが集まる可能性があった。AP通信やアルジャジーラの報道によると、被告は中東における別のテロ計画で他者と協力していたほか、ISの爆弾製造手順に従い、機関銃や手榴弾などの違法武器を入手しようとしていた疑いも持たれていた。
