After the terrorist attack in Villach, in which a 23-year-old Syrian killed a 14-year-old boy and seriously injured five other people, charges may soon be filed. The investigation against the suspect is almost complete, as the Klagenfurt public prosecutor's office announced.

On February 15, a 23-year-old Syrian asylum seeker randomly attacked people with a knife near the main square in Villach. A fellow Syrian stopped him by hitting him with a car. The attacker was sane and not under the influence of drugs at the time of the crime. He has been in pre-trial detention since his arrest at the scene.

Final Interrogation After Villach Attack Next Week

The prosecution is now waiting for investigation results from the Federal Criminal Office, which will trace the exact path of the attacker. It is also being examined whether the man is charged with another crime, but there were no details on this yet. The final interrogation of the accused is planned for next week, according to the public prosecutor's office, after which the final decision will be made.
