Convicted teenager who tried a terrorist attack on a concert by Taylor Swift in Berlin

Decision set 18 months in prison, with suspended penalty

The teenager involved in the planning of a Taylor Swift concert in 2024 was sentenced to 18 months in prison, with a suspended sentence in Germany, the court said.

“In 2024, the defendant maintained contact on social networks with an Austria teenager, who planned a bomber attack at the singer’s concert in Vienna. The defendant sent him, among other things, a video with instructions for the manufacture of bombs and contact information from a member of the Islamic Jihadist group [EI]”The German Court said in a statement.

The court reported in a statement that the 16 -year -old was declared guilty by a court in Berlin for preparing a serious act of dangerous violence for the state and to support a terrorist organization abroad, IS.

The convict, who was 14 years old at the time of events, was the ISS sympathizer after being radicalized ‘online’, according to the statement.

The terrorist attack in Austria did not happen due to the detention of the teenager who planned the attack on August 7, 2024.

The defendant confessed to the crime during the trial, which served as an attenuating factor for the penalty, which was suspended.

Shortly after being arrested on August 7, 2024, the teenager confessed to his intention to perform a suicidal attack in front of the Ernst Happel stadium in Vienna.

Concert organizers expected up to 65,000 people inside the stadium on each concert and up to 30,000 viewers abroad, noting that the singer’s concerts in Austria were canceled after the detention.

The purpose of the convict was “to kill himself and a large crowd in the show,” the Austrian interior minister, Gerhard Karner, said at the time, noting that the teenager was very advanced in the manufacture of the explosive.
