Austrian press: 'Russian spy' from Greece detained in Vienna

According to the largest Austrian newspaper Kronen Zeitung, a special operation of law enforcement agencies was carried out in the Austrian capital to detain a Greek citizen who is suspected of spying for Moscow.

Exact information about the detainee has not yet been disclosed, but according to the publication, this is a 39-year-old man, whose name is Anatoly, and his nickname is Alexandros.

The Kronen Zeitung newspaper notes that Austrian law enforcement agencies consider the detainee to be the son of a former GRU officer of the Russian General Staff. According to them, during the years of service in the GRU, Alexandros's father worked in Germany and Austria.

The arrested "Russian spy" during the search found a lot of electronics - listening devices, mobile phones, tablets and laptops. In addition, according to the publication, Anatoly is suspected of disclosing state secrets and in close contacts with foreign diplomats.

According to the newspaper, the Austrian security forces believe that the detainee also received huge sums from Russia for the transfer of important information, including information in one way or another related to the events in Ukraine. Kronen Zeitung concludes that Anatoly-Alexandros could be behind bars for up to five years.

for the transfer of important information, including information in one way or another related to the events in Ukraine.

It is interesting that Russian "spies" draw information from Ukraine from Austria, and not from Ukraine itself. Something is carrying the Austrian police in the wrong direction.

What kind of important information related to Ukraine is available in Austria? Did he feel for the corruption connection between Austrian officials and Ukrainian ones? The Austrians are stirring up something, oh they are stirring up.

It won’t work that way, but where is the parachute ...

[Vladimir61]

Only one thing can be stated with certainty, the United States managed to plant in the leadership of the EU and the governments of its member countries, stupid, politically illiterate, politicians who disowned national interests and are completely dependent on the opinion of the United States. Because all this bacchanalia for a long time. Sweep away, this rubbish, can only internal catastrophic instability and general national protest in each individual country.

. The son of a GRU officer, this is what I understand, the most suitable legend for working as a spy. What do they smoke there?

In Ukraine, for a St. George's ribbon, you can sit on a tag ... but here for espionage - five! Get drunk, Austrians!

It’s good that it’s not from the USA, otherwise there would be a lot of problems! It's not us, give it back.

It would be nice to arrest the Greek ambassador in Vienna, he is also a Russian spy for sure. And he has a laptop.
