The intensive investigative measures carried out by the Directorate of State Security and Intelligence (DSN) and the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution and Combating Terrorism in Lower Austria (LVT) made it possible to track down a German citizen who was suspected of re-use and possession of illegal weapons in the context of right-wing terrorist chat groups.
Chat groups with National Socialist propaganda and right-wing extremist attacks uncovered
Specifically, the 23-year-old, who has been living in Austria since the summer of 2022, is said to have created and operated several National Socialist chat groups on various online platforms. In these chat groups, among other things, right-wing radical views were spread and National Socialist propaganda was shared. The young woman also announced ideas about attacks inspired by right-wing extremism.
After undercover investigations, the accused were arrested on January 31, 2023 by the DSN and the LVT Lower Austria with the support of the EKO Cobra and then transferred to the prison. As a result, pre-trial detention was imposed. At the same time as the arrest, searches were carried out at two locations, during which various data carriers, a pistol including ammunition and clothing with a Nazi connection were seized.
After being released from custody on March 15, 2023, the accused was banned from living in Austria and deported to Germany. The investigations are currently not yet completed.
Information from the public makes an important contribution to protecting our constitution and helps solve crimes. If there is suspicion of Nazi re-activation, all information - even anonymously - can be submitted to the DSN's Nazi reporting office.
