“Thanks to the intensive co-operation of our police and a newly established DSN with foreign services, the threat was spotted early, combated and a tragedy prevented,” he said. “The concrete threat situation has been addressed – we have arrested a 19-year-old and 17-year-old at the heart of this group – but we are also investigating beyond that in their social circle,” said Franz Ruf, general director of Austria’s interior ministry.
Investigators assume the 19-year-old, an Austrian man with parents from North Macedonia’s Albanian minority, was the ringleader of the group.
