After Vienna terror: penalty for 18-year-olds

After the attack in downtown Vienna, an 18-year-old from Bangladesh, a friend of the assassin, was taken into custody. Now the young man has been convicted – for crimes that happened a long time ago.

The judgment is already final. 18-year-old A. from Bangladesh accepted it immediately. And the public prosecutor has also waived the demand for a stricter penalty – and thus on the way to the second instance. So it stays that way: two years of partial imprisonment for membership in the terrorist organization Islamic State (IS).
A. only has to serve six months of this. The rest was given parole at the trial on Monday in the Vienna Criminal Court.
