Two days ago, lawyer Andreas Schweitzer, the defense attorney for the suspected couple, also submitted an application for release from custody. The reason was excavations in Lower Austria as part of an investigation into weapons and terrorist material that was supposed to be hidden there. However, these were unsuccessful, so the suspicion was not substantiated. The public prosecutor also had to agree.
