The Interior Ministry confirms the information
A spokesman for the Interior Ministry confirmed to the SZ on Tuesday night that the national authorities had been informed. The Judiciary has not received any information in this regard. This was explained by the head of the individual criminal affairs section of the Ministry of Justice, Barbara Göth-Flemmich, to the lunch newspaper Ö1 on Wednesday.
The notice would have been grounds for imprisonment
If he had received a report on this, that would have been a reason to re-arrest the man, Göth-Flemmich said. When probation took place, the court ruled that the 20-year-old should be under observation for three years. Upon release, the Ministry of the Interior was informed.
As explained by Nina Bussek, spokeswoman for the Vienna Public Prosecutor’s Office, the magazine’s prosecutor was not informed until the night of the attack that there had been an attempted purchase in July. No one knew anything about it beforehand.
That’s great. Vienna was reportedly informed that the killer wanted to buy weapons (during the probationary period of his parole).

The killer would no longer be in custody
Göth-Flemmich also claimed that the killer would have been released no later than mid-July, even if he had served the full 22 months to which he had been sentenced in a terrorist trial in April 2019 as an IS sympathizer. Because the length of detention in Turkey had to be counted against the prison sentence, where he was arrested in September 2018 while trying to join the terrorist militia and then extradited to Austria.
The notice went to LTV in October
The “Kurier” reported online Wednesday that the Vienna State Office for the Protection of the Constitution and the Fight against Terrorism (LTV) received the notice in October. The 20-year-old is said to have been accompanied by another man on his trip to Slovakia. According to the “Süddeutscher Zeitung”, a car was reportedly used for the trip, which is registered to the mother of an Islamist known to the police.
