Two Teens Arrested for Alleged IS Support in Switzerland
In mid-April 2024, two teenagers were arrested in the Schaffhausen canton on suspicion of supporting the Islamic State terrorist organization. The Schaffhausen Public Prosecutor’s Office is investigating potential plans for attacks in Switzerland. Recent updates indicate that the detention conditions for the pair have been relaxed, allowing them to spend time outside detention under certain conditions. Details remain sparse due to the investigation’s confidential nature, and both suspects retain the presumption of innocence. Additionally, an 18-year-old Swiss man connected to the teens was also arrested in Thurgau, under federal investigation.
