The trial against Mohammad A., a fifteen -year -old of Syrian origin accused of being part of a terrorist organization and of having collaborated in the organization of a attack by the Islamic State that should have taken place during a concert by Taylor Swift in Vienna, started in Berlin. Last year the Vienna concert by the US singer was canceled for security reasons and the Austrian police arrested a nineteen year old, Mohammad A.
It would have been more than an accomplice, having translated the instructions to build a bomb from Arabic. In addition, he would have sent a sort of oath of fidelity to the terrorist organization. Mohammad A. was stopped in Frankfurt on the Oder, where he attended the school.
According to the German Agency DPA, the trial, which should last until August 26, will take place behind closed doors given the age of the accused who is now in freedom, while the Austrian nineteen year old is in a preventive prison in Vienna.
