The young “protection money gang” was heavily armed. She terrorized her victims with arson attacks, severe extortion and robberies. The main suspect is Bosnian (17).

Robberies, building a bomb, an arson attack with a Molotov cocktail, a list of torture victims, as well as terror with Kalashnikovs, knives and machetes: the “protection money gang” spread fear and terror in Vienna-Meidling. Numerous attacks took place within a very short period of time and led to numerous arrests. There are now increasing indications of a radical Islamic background. The headquarters of the young gang is said to have been in a mosque in Meidling.

Videos from the terrorist organization Islamic State (IS) were found on the cell phones of some members of the gang. One suspect stated that there were IS sympathies among his accomplices who said they wanted to “do jihad.” The Vienna youth justice service suspects “possible advanced religious-Islamist radicalization” in three of the suspects.

The judiciary released two of the suspects after just ten days. The investigations and the authorities' reactions remain a critical point in the public debate.
