(Local) Five individuals accused of helping Vienna’s terrorist attacker in November 2020 will get a partial retrial after the Austrian Supreme Court overturned their convictions.
The trial against five accused of helping the Vienna terrorist attacker who killed four people on November 2nd, 2020, is set for a partial retrial, Austrian media has reported.
The deadly attack, which happened just hours before the city was set to enter a COVID-19 lockdown, saw a lone gunman open fire in the bustling city centre.
It resulted in the deaths of four civilians, with 23 others sustaining injuries — seven of them critically — alongside a wounded police officer. The assailant, identified as a sympathiser of Islamist terrorist group Isis, was killed by law enforcement.
