(Swiss Info) Federal prosecutors have now cleared both Swiss nationals suspected of supporting the November 2020 terror attack which killed four people in Vienna.
The pair were arrested in November 2020 on suspicion of having made a “causal contribution to support or encourage the attack.” They were held in pre-trial detention until April 2021, when they were released.
After one was cleared last month of direct participation, the main accusations against the second have now also been dropped, according to media reports, confirmed by the Federal Prosecutor’s Office on Thursday.
Although the men visited the Islamic State (IS) member who carried out the attack a few months before November 2020, there is no evidence that they participated in it or knew of it beforehand, the prosecutor’s office found.
