“Now you have to clear up the allegations. It’s the judiciary’s turn.” There are two options, according to Kurz: The suspicions are confirmed and a conviction occurs or the suspects are exonerated and can resume their duties.

Vice-Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache (FPÖ) was also convinced that in this case everything was “legally compliant”. Strache did not want to repeat his accusation that the BVT might act as a “state within the state”. He did not express a general suspicion. “That is dishonest. I just found out that there were allegations and that it was terrifying.”

“I have full confidence in the judiciary,” said Strache and emphasized again that the cause lies in the hands of the judiciary and not the FPÖ-led Interior Ministry. The police only accompanied the house search, “quite normally with no gun drawn”. Considerations to merge the police and military intelligence services, Strache described as “complete nonsense”.
