The 19-year-old was granted bail ahead of Isaac Herzog’s arrival in New South Wales.
A man from Sydney who allegedly threatened to kill Israeli President Isaac Herzog was granted bail on Thursday, three days before the latter’s arrival in Australia.
The Australian Federal Police charged Darcy Tinning, 19, with issuing warnings to Herzog and U.S. President Donald Trump on social media on Jan. 19, including a threat to shoot the Israeli head of state with a pistol, ABC News (Australia) reported.
Prosecutors had refused bail ahead of the court hearing in light of Herzog’s visit on Feb. 8, but Magistrate Daniel Covington said that the suspect is likely to comply with bail conditions due to his absence of a criminal history and lack of access to firearms, the report read.
