[Fezjulai] "managed to fool the deradicalization program of the justice system, to fool the people in it, and to get an early release through this," Nehammer told a press conference.

However, the authorities are still working to rule out the possibility there was a second attacker.Fourteen individuals have been arrested for questioning, in raids carried out after a search of Fezjulai's apartment.
