“I believe that this is indeed an overly politicized story. If Russian citizens who are in Austria and engaged in allegedly illegal activities have any complaints, there are established international standards and national legislation, according to which persons who do not have diplomatic immunity can be brought to justice, ”said Morozov.

The deputy also stressed that the secret services never work in this way, do not strive for public disclosure and do not look for violators with the involvement of the media and the public.

Earlier, the Foreign Ministry of Russia called a throw-in of Austria’s statement about the Russian Igor Zaitsev, who is suspected of secret activities in favor of the GRU.
