1 / 2The New Zealand terror attack suspect had a financial link to the European far-right movement Generation Identity, Austrian chancellor Sebastian Kurz has said.
“We can now confirm that there was financial support and so a link between the New Zealand attacker and the Identitarian Movement in Austria,” said Mr Kurz, adding his government was considering dissolving the far-right group. Australian white supremacist Brenton Tarrant, 28, has been charged with shooting dead Muslim worshippers during Friday prayers in Christchurch earlier this month.
He wrote on Twitter: “Sorry but I can’t ask every donor whether he has plans to commit a terror attack in a year, and if so to take his money back.”
