In connection with the terrorist attack in the center of Vienna, it emerged on Saturday that a video existed showing a short night trip in a sequence of ten seconds with the passenger holding an assault rifle between the legs. The model is said to be the same one the assassin used in the attack. The video was sent to police the night of the attack.
The question of whether and, if so, what reference the video has to the attack will be investigated “under high pressure,” the police investigation group “November 2” said on Saturday afternoon after the news magazine “profil “will report on the video in its current edition. “We know about the video. It is the subject of ongoing investigations,” Raimund Schwaigerlehner, head of communications with the special task force, told APA. In consultation with the responsible prosecutor’s office in Vienna, Schwaigerlehner declined to comment on matters of content for reasons of tactical investigations.
How did the attacker from Vienna get to the city center?
Regarding the video, it is unclear who is sitting in the front passenger seat and if the video was recorded on November 2 or the night before. It is still unclear how the murderer Kujtim Fejzulai got from his apartment on Wagramer Strasse to the city center. It can be ruled out that you have used public transportation, nor is it likely that you have used taxis or transportation services like Uber and Bolt. The variant that Fejzulai marched into the city center on foot, which would have taken a little over an hour, was recently assessed as unlikely.
The mysterious video was posted on two WhatsApp chat groups after the attack. At least one member of the group is said to have had contact with the killer in the weeks leading up to the crime. According to “profil” there is a suspicion that this man may have also driven the vehicle, which is said to be a BMW. The transmitter of the video had been investigated and questioned by the police on the night of November 2.
Furthermore, the “profile” reports that Fejzulai, a few weeks after his release from prison in December 2019, was questioned by the Vienna State Office for the Protection of the Constitution and the Fight Against Terrorism (LVT) in the course of a “dangerous speech”. In February 2020, his passport was withdrawn and his efforts to obtain a replacement identity card were unsuccessful.
