Two men and a woman have been taken into custody in connection with the investigation against an Islamist network in Austria. This was decided by the regional criminal court, a court spokeswoman told the APA news agency. The regional court assumed that the reasons for detention were the risk of escape, concealment and the risk of committing a crime.
The three are under investigation for being members of a terrorist organization in connection with terrorist crimes. Data carriers such as mobile phones were seized during a search and are now being investigated. The three had “not known,” the court spokeswoman said.
When police raided a refugee shelter shortly before Christmas, a fourth person who happened to be there was arrested. It was still being investigated whether she had anything to do with possible planned crimes by the three others.
The arrest is said to be related to the tightened security measures in Cologne Cathedral. According to information from the German Press Agency, German security authorities had received information about a possible attack plan by an Islamic group on the cathedral and a church in Vienna. The Viennese authorities have not provided any information.
