奥地利一家法庭周四裁定一名男子罪名成立，该男子曾策划于近两年前袭击维也纳的一场泰勒·斯威夫特演唱会。他被判处15年监禁。
据奥地利通讯社报道，维也纳新城州法院认定这名21岁被告、根据奥地利隐私规则仅被称为贝兰·A.的奥地利公民多项罪名成立，其中包括与该演唱会相关的指控。
他的辩护律师表示，在上个月庭审首日，被告承认了与演唱会袭击阴谋相关的指控。
该袭击阴谋被挫败，但奥地利当局仍取消了斯威夫特原定于2024年8月的三场演出。
在周四休庭评议判决前，贝兰·A.向法庭作了简短的最后陈述：“我只想说，我很抱歉。”
贝兰·A.据称计划在恩斯特·哈佩尔体育场外使用刀具或自制爆炸物袭击人群。当时有数万名自称“霉粉”的泰勒·斯威夫特粉丝前往奥地利，观看这位美国歌手创纪录的“时代巡回演唱会”。演出取消令粉丝们悲痛万分，许多人聚集在维也纳市中心交换友谊手链，互相倾诉遗憾。
贝兰·A.还据称在策划袭击前与极端组织“伊斯兰国”成员建立了联系。检察官表示，他们曾讨论购买武器和制作炸弹，被告还试图在演唱会前几天非法购买武器，并宣誓效忠该极端组织。
当局于2024年8月7日搜查了他的公寓，查获了爆炸物制造材料。而演唱会原定次日开演。
“维也纳演出被取消对我们来说是毁灭性的打击，”斯威夫特在两周后发布在Instagram上的声明中写道，“取消演出的缘由让我心生新的恐惧，同时也深感愧疚，因为有那么多人专程赶来观看演出。”
贝兰·A.与另一名21岁男子阿尔达·K.一同受审，后者的全名也未公开。据称他们与第三名男子哈桑·E.计划在2024年斋月期间以“伊斯兰国”的名义在沙特阿拉伯、土耳其和阿联酋发动同步袭击，哈桑·E.已被捕，目前仍被关押在沙特阿拉伯的审前拘留所。
仅有贝兰·A.因该演唱会袭击阴谋受到指控。据奥地利通讯社报道，两名被告均被判多项罪名成立，包括为恐怖目的旅行和接受训练，以及参与恐怖组织。
法院还认定两人犯有协助未遂谋杀罪，这项指控与哈桑·E.于2024年3月在麦加 allegedly刺伤一名安保人员有关。据检察官透露，哈桑·E.在被捕前还袭击并致伤了另外三名安保人员和一名女子。
阿尔达·K.被判处12年监禁。两名男子在听取判决和量刑时面无表情。
Taylor Swift concert attack plot suspect sentenced to 15 years after being found guilty in Austrian court

An Austrian court on Thursday convicted a man of planning to attack a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna nearly two years ago. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
The state court in Wiener Neustadt found the 21-year-old defendant, an Austrian citizen known only as Beran A., in line with Austrian privacy rules, guilty on charges including those related to the concert, the Austria Press Agency reported.
His defense attorney said he admitted to the charges related to the concert plot during the opening day of the trial last month.
The concert plot was thwarted, but Austrian authorities still canceled Swift’s three performances in August 2024.
In short final words to the court before it adjourned to consider a verdict on Thursday, Beran A. said: “I would just like to say that I am sorry.”
Beran A. allegedly planned to target people outside the Ernst Happel Stadium with knives or homemade explosives. Tens of thousands of Taylor Swift fans, known as Swifties, had traveled to Austria to attend the performances of the American singer’s record-setting Eras Tour. Devastated by the cancellations, many gathered in central Vienna to trade friendship bracelets and commiserate.
Beran A. also allegedly networked with members of the Islamic State group ahead of the planned attack. Prosecutors have said they discussed purchasing weapons and making bombs, and that the defendant also sought to illegally buy weapons in the days ahead of the performance, as well as swearing allegiance to the militant group.
Authorities searched his apartment on Aug. 7, 2024, and found bomb-making materials. The concerts were scheduled to begin the next day.
“Having our Vienna shows canceled was devastating,” Swift wrote in a statement posted to Instagram two weeks later. “The reason for the cancellations filled me with a new sense of fear, and a tremendous amount of guilt because so many people had planned on coming to those shows.”
He was tried alongside Arda K., another 21-year-old whose full name also has not been made public. They, along with a third man, Hasan E., who was arrested and remains in pretrial detention in Saudi Arabia, allegedly planned to carry out simultaneous attacks in Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates during Ramadan 2024 in the name of IS.
Only Beran A. was charged in connection with the concert plot. The two defendants were found guilty of charges including traveling and training for terrorist purposes, and being part of a terrorist organization, APA reported.
The court also found the pair guilty of contributing to attempted murder, a charge linked to Hasan E.’s alleged stabbing of a security officer in Mecca in March 2024. Hasan E. also attacked and wounded three other officers and a woman before he was arrested, according to prosecutors.
Arda K. was given a 12-year sentence. The two men listened stoically to the verdict and the sentencing.
