It has been noted that the Austrian State Security and Intelligence Department (DSN) has held many months of monitoring the OMV employee, who has been interested in his frequent meetings with a Russian embassy employee in Vienna, which has been listed on lists of many Western Intelligence services as a possible FSB agent.
The OMV employee at Espionage has access to the company’s strategic projects, especially in plans to leave Russian gas and a multi -billion dollar giant Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC).

During the search, a significant amount of internal and classified documents about OMV activities and its partners in the United Arab Emirates were acquired at his home. Currently, the materials are reviewed by the investigation.
According to Profil, the suspect was a native of Eastern Europe, who received Austrian citizenship.
OMV confirmed the employee’s dismissal and announced complete cooperation with law enforcement agencies.
