Austria has played a significant role in supporting Russian agents, as demonstrated by the relocation of the entire staff of the Russian consulate in Munich to Salzburg, near the German border. Intelligence sources revealed that Vienna has become a hub for Russian operations in Central Europe, including espionage, sabotage, recruitment, and industrial espionage.
Russian diplomats and officials operate out of numerous properties in Vienna, equipped with advanced listening and spying devices. Austria’s Ministry of the Interior highlighted the country’s robust security agencies that work to counter Russian intelligence and influence operations within legal limits. Espionage is not a criminal offense in Austria unless directed against the Austrian state.
As a neutral country in Europe, Austria has historically been a center for intelligence activities between superpowers. European countries are considering measures to counter Russian espionage activities, such as restricting the movement of Russian diplomats within the EU. The report emphasizes Russia’s efforts to rebuild its intelligence operations across Europe by recruiting various agents and utilizing Austria as a central location. Key European intelligence officers describe Russian intelligence as an octopus with its central operations in Austria, deeply infiltrating the continent.
