Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz | Dan Kitwood/Getty Images Christchurch terror suspect gave money to Austrian far right: Chancellor Kurz Austrian chancellor says he wants to dissolve Identitarian Movement after donation confirmed.

The man charged with killing 50 people at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand earlier this month gave money to Austria's far-right Identitarian Movement, Chancellor Sebastian Kurz confirmed Wednesday.

A spokesperson for prosecutors in Austria said that Martin Sellner, head of Austria's Identitarian Movement, received €1,500 in 2018 from a man with the same name as the one charged over the killings, Reuters reported.

"We have to examine these networks quickly and thoroughly," Chancellor Kurz said in a video published on Twitter, referring to international links between right-wing extremists. "We have to determine whether crimes were committed on Austrian soil and punish all those who are guilty of crimes. Furthermore, we have to examine whether we can dissolve the Identitarian Movement altogether."

Kurz said both the interior and justice ministries intend to "provide all the means necessary to take decisive action against these people," referring to the Identitarian Movement, which originated in France and is often associated with white nationalism and anti-immigrant ideas.

Before the government had confirmed the links, Sellner took to Twitter himself on Monday, announcing that his house had been raided by police "because of Christchurch." In video messages posted on YouTube, he said he had nothing to do with the suspect, other than having passively received a donation from him.

In another tweet published on Tuesday, Sellner said that while the raids might give the impression that he had something to hide, or was an accomplice of the suspect, "that is defamatory, pointless and against the law. We will file a complaint."

A manifesto allegedly by the Christchurch suspect, laying the reasons for the attack, reveals how he was inspired by ideas that have filtered into right-wing discourse across Europe.

Austria's vice chancellor, Heinz-Christian Strache of the far-right Freedom Party, has said his party had nothing to do with the Identitarian Movement.
