An old officer was withdrawn in Switzerland as a penalty, since the tag of 2024 was “he gave Russia some information.”
Switzerland’s Ministry of Defense has confirmed that one of the exes, Colonel and a former member of the OSCE delegation in Vienna, has been revoked due to suspicions of document transfer on Russia’s side. The SRF reported this Friday, August 8th.
We are discussing the incident that occurred in the Tag of 2024. According to the media, the colonel sent a Russian delegation document a few hours before it was distributed to all OSCE participants.
A suspected man is a senior representative of the Switzerland Ministry of Defense: a colonel with more than 20 years of service.
Until the middle of the year, he worked in Vienna, introducing Switzerland to a delegation when organizing security and cooperation in Europe.
The Ministry of Defense said they were told by the accusations and recalled the employee by the end of 2024. The investigation was conducted by military justice, and the supervisory intelligence body ab-ND and GPDEL were also involved.
The name of the defendant is not disclosed.
However, some officials criticize the “tough” decision, they say, it’s “just about an incident”.
Switzerland should lead OSCE in 2026.
Remember that the Federal Prosecutor’s Office of Germany will charge three men suspected of spying in favor of Russia.
Later, the Austrian State Protection and Intelligence Department (DSN) revealed a large -scale Russian disinformation campaign in the country, sharing misinformation about Ukraine.
