Convention for those Wine: Increased Service Scandal shakes Austria!

In the most recent process at the Vienna Court of Criminal Court, the former FPÖ National Councilor Hans-Jörg was sentenced to 12 months due to a violation of the weapons law and abuse of office. This happened because that that as a member of the BVT examination committee in a scandalous case, a former employee of the then Interior Minister Herbert Kickl (FPÖ) commissioned him to provide information about participants in two secret meetings of European intelligence services. In addition, a dangerous impact ring was ensured during a house search at that at that time, which makes the all the more serious, such as Kleinezeitung.at reported.

Although that was convicted, both he and the ex-head inspector of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution and the fight against terrorism (BVT), Egisto Ott, were acquitted by other allegations. The lay judge could not clearly prove whether the information transmitted actually came from internal sources. Judge Julia Matiasch found that there was no evidence of an intention to damage. Ott, who has been suspected since 2017, to have passed on intelligence information about the disadvantage of Austria, is also accused of further serious allegations such as the trade of secret information at the Russian domestic intelligence agency FSB. He decidedly denies these accusations, while the public prosecutor's investigation is still running, such as vienna.at

gaps in souvenirs and confidential service complications

During the procedure, remarkable memory gaps came to light from another former BVT employee, who could not confirm whether he communicated with Ott under the pseudonym "Alpha77". This confusion about the communication channels shows how complex and chaotic the processes around the BVT examinations are. Although the public was temporarily excluded from the courtroom, the interest in the background and consequences of these intricate machinations remains unbroken.
