Criminal lawyer Zerbes heads the U-Commission on the attack in Vienna

Other members include former Attorney General Werner Pleischl and former Director General of Public Safety Herbert Anderl. A first report must be submitted within four weeks. An international expert is also included in the commission of inquiry. This is the former Munich Police Chief Hubertus Andrä. The fifth member of the commission is Franz Merli, who, like President Ingeborg Zerbes, teaches at the Vienna Juridicum, but also at the Institute for Constitutional and Administrative Law.

The commission of inquiry is formally created today through a circular resolution of the Council of Ministers. An analysis of the process of the reactions of the security, judicial and intelligence services of the national and foreign authorities in relation to the attack is desired. The work of the probation service and the association charged with de-radicalizing the later murderer should also be discussed.

Four weeks after the start of its work, the five-person commission will present a first report that includes a chronological description of the events to the Ministers of Justice and the Interior.

Nehammer promises transparent clarification

In a broadcast, Interior Minister Karl Nehammer (ÖVP) stressed that the commission would carefully examine all processes related to the attack and clarify them in a transparent manner. It is not a political commission, but a purely technical one with recognized experts. Justice Minister Alma Zadic (Greens) added that the terrorist act in Vienna is now being investigated in detail and prosecuted: “This is the only way we can draw the correct conclusions.” She called the committee members excellent.

Zerbes himself emphasized that the Commission is only concerned with “an unconditional investigation, independent of political attitudes and as precise as possible.” The group is composed in such a way that each individual member can guarantee this independence.

After working abroad for a long time, most recently at the University of Bremen, the chairwoman of the commission returned to the Vienna Juridicum last year, where she has since held a professorship at the Institute of Criminal Law. He also completed his habilitation in Vienna.
