Austria said on Monday it had identified a 39-year-old Greek citizen whom it suspects of spying for Russia, adding that he is himself the son of a former Russian spy who was once stationed in Germany and Austria as a diplomat.
Austria's Interior Ministry made the announcement in a statement after an investigation conducted by its domestic intelligence agency "in close international cooperation" with countries or institutions that it did not name.
The suspect, whom it also did not name, "was in contact with diplomats and intelligence officials from various countries and was in Moscow shortly before and during the military invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces", the statement said.
