Lawyer for Suspect in Taylor Swift Vienna Threat Says Allegations Are Exaggerated

The lawyer for the main suspect in the alleged threat to attack the Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna, claims that the case is exaggerated.

The lawyer for the main suspect in the alleged threat to attack the since-canceled Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna, Austria, claims that the way authorities presented the case is exaggerated. Associated Press previously reported that the main suspect in the case, a 19-year-old male, confessed that he planned to “kill as many people as possible” outside Ernst Happel Stadium, where Swift was scheduled to perform from August 8 to 10. Omar Haijawi-Pirchner, Austria’s head of the Directorate of State Security and Intelligence, said the suspect wanted to use knives or homemade explosives to attack Swifties outside the stadium at the event, which was expected to draw more than 195,000 fans.
