Man döms till 15 års fängelse för planerad terrorattack mot Taylor Swifts konsert i Wien

En österrikisk man, identifierad som Beran A., dömdes den 28 maj till 15 års fängelse för sin roll i en avvärjd terrorplan riktad mot Taylor Swifts konserter under 2024 års Eras Tour i Wien.

21-åringen erkände i april att han konspirerat för att utföra en attack, men nekade till övriga anklagelser. Åklagare uppgav att han planerade att attackera fans utanför Ernst Happel-stadion med knivar och bomber, där upp till 30 000 personer kunde ha samlats inför konserter som förväntades locka 65 000 besökare per kväll. Han anklagades även för att ha samarbetat med andra i ytterligare planer i Mellanöstern och för att ha försökt få tag på illegala vapen, inklusive en kulspruta och en handgranat, efter att ha följt instruktioner från IS om bomb-tillverkning, enligt rapporter från The Associated Press och Al Jazeera.
