Austria's chancellor has called for an investigation into reported ties between an Austrian nationalist group and the man charged with killing 50 people in Christchurch.

A far-right Austrian political movement had a financial link to the man who killed 50 people in the New Zealand mosque shootings, Austria’s chancellor Sebastian Kurz has said.

Last week it was revealed that the Christchurch gunman had visited Austria before carrying out the attacks. Officials have not confirmed whether shooter Brenton Tarrant, 28, met with any far-right activists during his trip. This week, Austrian officials raided the home of Sellner over the links. Sellner said he had contacted his lawyer when he became aware of the link and has denied any involvement in the New Zealand attack, Euronews reported.
