A spokesperson for the Vienna Regional Court informed the APA on Monday. The man was arrested at Istanbul Airport on January 31. He was already known by name immediately after the crime.

The imposition of pre-trial detention took place last Friday due to the risk of flight and the danger of committing the crime, according to the court spokesperson. However, it is not yet legally binding, as the accused did not make a statement.

Dead and Seriously Injured After Shooting in Front of Venue

During the altercation on November 6, a 33-year-old Chechen was killed in front of the venue at Yppenmarkt, and a 55-year-old Serb was seriously injured. Additionally, another person suffered a grazing shot, as the police announced a few days later. The victims and the perpetrators are said to have known each other, with a verbal altercation between them moving from the venue to the street, eventually leading to the crime. Two accomplices of the shooter had already turned themselves in to the police independently shortly after the crime.

The 34-year-old main suspect, an Austrian citizen, was known by name to the investigators soon after the shooting, but his whereabouts were not. An EU arrest warrant was issued against the man, and since mid-November, he was also being sought with wanted photos. After "months of meticulous investigations by the Vienna State Criminal Police Office," the wanted man was arrested at Istanbul Airport on January 31 and transferred to Vienna last Wednesday.
