The affair involving Russian spies at the Office for the Protection of the Constitution will be the dominant topic in the upcoming election campaign. The ÖVP wants to investigate the matter further in the remaining meetings in the U-Committee on the “red-blue abuse of power” and re-interrogate FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl. The ‘Krone’ investigated the question of why Vienna is an interesting location for Russian spies.
There are probably at least a hundred Russian agents in Vienna. “Russia has its largest embassy in Austria,” said an expert from the news agency in an interview with the “Krone”. “Officially there are 500 Russian diplomats here. If only one in five people is a spy, there are already a hundred.” There are also people who act secretly and are in the country under assumed names. And for example ‘working’ in some companies.
