Lawyer for Suspect in Taylor Swift Concert Terror Plot Claims Allegations Are ‘Exaggerated’

A lawyer for one of the suspects in the attempted terror plot at Taylor Swift's Vienna concert has claimed the allegations have been 'exaggerated.'

A defense lawyer for one of the three suspects arrested in connection to the foiled terror plot that led to the cancellation of Taylor Swift ’s three sold-out concerts in Vienna claimed authorities have exaggerated their case against his client. Tomanek told the Austrian Press Agency that he hadn’t yet had access to case files but cited a “fragmentary record” of his client’s initial questioning, disputing that his statements amounted to a full confession. Tomanek describes his client, who hasn’t been named by Austrian officials due to privacy protocols, as “a lone wolf without social contacts.” He added that “the alleged attack plans were pure fantasies” of a man with apparent mental health issues.
