(Swiss Info) Both Swiss nationals who were arrested after the November 2020 attack in Vienna have been released from pre-trial detention.
The older of the two — who was 24 when arrested — was released recently. The Attorney General’s Office told the Keystone-SDA news agency on Tuesday that it was no longer proportionate for him to remain in custody. The younger suspect — who was 18 at the time — was released from pre-trial detention in mid-April for the same reasons.
Both suspects will have to comply with certain conditions failing which they could be re-incarcerated.
The two Swiss men were arrested in early November 2020 in the northern Swiss city of Winterthur in connection with the Vienna terror attack.
