After the "Krone" report, the 16-year-old Chechen who wanted to blow up the NMS Bruck an der Mur with his 15-year-old friend was now in handcuffs after all.

The waves ran high when it became known that the two boys with Macedonian and Chechen roots who planned a terrorist attack on the new secondary school in Bruck an der Mur were still on the loose. Although the two friends (15 and 16 years old) were sentenced to two years imprisonment, eight months of which were unconditional, at Leoben Provincial Court last summer.

Concerned citizens who saw the two walking on the street and recognized them turned to the "Krone" in astonishment and asked for clarification. On enquiring at the court, we learned: "Yes, they were granted a reprieve." So that they could finish their education before starting prison.

Arrest order from the court
But now the "Krone" has learned from a confidential, reliable source: The handcuffs recently clicked for the older man, a motor vehicle apprentice. On February 7, shortly after our story appeared, the regional court ordered his arrest and committal to Leoben prison, which was immediately carried out by the police.

 The 16-year-old Chechen is now behind bars. He had actually applied for an ankle bracelet to serve the unconditional part of his sentence, but this was refused by the court.

It is not yet known what will happen to his friend, a pupil (15).
