An Austrian man who admitted plotting a jihadist attack targeting one of Taylor Swift's sold-out Eras Tour concerts in Vienna has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after a court found him guilty of terrorism-related offences.
The case centred on a foiled attack that authorities said could have caused mass casualties among the tens of thousands of fans expected to gather at and around Vienna's Ernst Happel Stadium in August 2024. Before judges retired to consider their verdict, the 21-year-old defendant, identified only as 'Beran A' under Austrian privacy laws, issued a brief apology.
