Police Conducted House Search at Neo-Nazi Küssel's Residence

According to the activist group "Stop the Right-Wing," increased police presence was observed in front of Küssel's house. According to reports, which have not yet been officially confirmed, the search could be part of a broader measure by law enforcement agencies against the neo-Nazi scene.

House Search Following Legal Defeat for Neo-Nazi Küssel

Küssel and other members of the scene have been residing for many years in a house in Vienna-Leopoldstadt, where the house search took place on Tuesday. There were neither arrests nor interrogations by the officers, Küssel's lawyer stated.

The Directorate of State Protection and Intelligence (DSN) stated to the APA that there were several official actions on Tuesday, some of which are still ongoing. For investigative reasons, there is currently no further information available to the public. This information will be provided after completion in coordination with the public prosecutor's office.

Küssel recently suffered a legal defeat in a completely different matter. As reported by the "Presse" at the beginning of the month, his attempt to obtain a new passport has ultimately failed: A final legal remedy to the Administrative Court (VwGH) was unsuccessful. His passport and ID card were revoked in 2016 following a conviction.
