Large assets were reportedly obtained during the raid in the vicinity of the Muslim Brotherhood: 25 million euros in cash alone were reportedly confiscated. However, this was not yet confirmed by the Graz prosecutor on Wednesday and investigators were reluctant to provide official information. Among the suspects is a former president of the Islamic Faith Community (IGGÖ).
Among the more than 70 defendants is a former president of the Islamic Faith Community, whose foundation was also raided. According to Ö1, a former cultural adviser of the IGGÖ and an official of the Institute of Islamic Religious Education (IRPA), which is responsible for the training of religious teachers in compulsory schools, and – according to the “Kleine Zeitung” – a former president of the Styrian Islamic Faith Community are also affected. A political scientist specializing in the investigation of Islamophobia is also affected.
Terrorist investigations after the attack in Vienna: At the moment no statement from the IGGÖ
The religious community or IRPA could not be reached for comment. In a written email, the IGGÖ noted that the authorities had not yet contacted him. Therefore, the IGGÖ was unable to comment on the ongoing investigation.
“Although many names and rumors circulate about the affected individuals and institutions. The authorities did not communicate directly with the religious community,” the broadcast said. As soon as the authorities “present evidence”, the responsibility as a religious community will be fulfilled and responded accordingly.
The Graz Public Prosecutor’s Office is investigating suspicions of a terrorist organization, criminal organization, terrorist financing, anti-subversive association and money laundering. However, at the request of the APA, it was emphasized that not all defendants were being investigated for all crimes. In addition to the more than 70 “natural persons” against whom the surveys are carried out, there are also a number of associations, companies and foundations. Including this it is determined against almost 100 people and institutions.
