N-TV had a update this afternoon, and chatted about this one unique part of the overall story.
So in the spring of 2019....this guy had been convicted and sent off for 22 months of Austrian jail.
The accusation that got him convicted? Well....he was going to run off to Syria and participate in the ISIS civil war. In the eyes of the Austrians, he was a radicalized Islamist.
As he entered prison, he agreed to participate in this state program....to 'deradicalize' himself (deprogram or un-brainwash). No one says much over a 'deal' existing....getting time off if you proved you were 'safe', but it appears to be that way.
After nine months, they performed some type of test. No one says what type or how intense it was....but he basically convinced them that that he was all finished with the radical stuff. They let him out....December of last year.
The Vienna public now? I'm guessing they are asking what exactly is built into this deradicalization program, and how easy it is to convince some expert of your 'change'. Course, maybe he de-deradicalized (deprogramed) himself from 'safe-status' to 'threat-status'.
The other folks who cleared the program as well? It's best not to bring this up....it might be more than a hundred folks running around who are laughing over how they faked the Austrians out.
