AustriaA 23-year-old rapper from Styria was sentenced by the Regional Criminal Court in Graz after being found guilty of making threatening statements. The rapper composed a song containing violent lyrics, including references to burning someone’s cat and house, which he sent to a friend he considered his closest companion. The court heard that the rapper had previously spoken about building Molotov cocktails and setting fire to his former school, prompting police intervention.
