Goldgruber is the suspected leak in warning alt right activist Martin Sellner before Austrian police raided his home in March 2019,[2] so he had enough time to delete his friendly emails with terrorist Brenton Tarrant, perpetrator of the Christchurch mosque shootings, 40 minutes before the raid; unusually, police waited 12 minutes for him to open the door. Sellner apparently had been warned and managed to delete all emails .[3]
