(CNN)The gunman accused of carrying out Christchurch’s deadly attacks had financial links to Austria’s far-right movement, officials told CNN Wednesday as Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said he was looking into dissolving the nationalist group.
The alleged attacker, Australian Brenton Harrison Tarrant, donated around 1,500 euros ($1,690) to the private bank account of Martin Sellner, head of Austria’s Identitarian Movement, a spokesman from the Graz prosecutor’s office told CNN.
Tarrant, 28, has been charged with killing 50 people in mass shootings at two New Zealand mosques earlier this month. He is due to appear in court on April 5.
