Pro und ContraAgenten-Hochburg Österreich – Werden wir ausspioniert und gesteuert?Pro und Contra von 9.4.2024
Österreich ist Drehscheibe und Schauplatz russischer Spionage. Nun erlebt die Republik mit Egisto Ott den größten Spionageskandal seiner Geschichte, wie Expert:innen bestätigen. Der frühere Verfassungsdienstmitarbeiter soll den russischen Geheimdienst „systematisch“, so die Staatsanwaltschaft Wien, mit streng vertraulichen Erkenntnissen aus dem Verfassungsschutz sowie personenbezogenen Daten aus Polizeidatenbanken versorgt haben. Ein Vorgehen, das russische Regimegegner in ganz Europa gefährdet hatte.
Die politische Aufarbeitung der Geschehnisse ist in vollem Gange. Die Kanzlerpartei ÖVP benennt Ott nun als einen “Spion der FPÖ”. Ex-Innenminister Herbert Kickl (FPÖ) habe „die Sicherheit Österreichs verraten“ und in der Folge mit der r...2024-04-1650 min
