As early as October last year, the police got on his trial and he was initially arrested and remanded in custody. However, as he is only 14 years old, he was released on certain conditions (e.g. reporting to the police every day).

Therefore, he was arrested again in January and taken to prison, where he has now remained until his trial. As revealed at the trial, IS allegedly offered the boy 25,000 euros if he carried out an attack on the Westbahnhof train station in Vienna.
