According to the Vienna Regional Court, the reason for this is the risk of obscuration and crime.
In the new BVT affair, a former official of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution and Counter-Terrorism was imposed on remand. This was announced by a spokeswoman for the Vienna Regional Court at the request of the APA. The decision is justified with the risk of obscuration and the risk of a crime.
According to media terms, the man is accused of querying and selling data from various files and registers, including to foreign services, the scandal company Wirecard and possibly to political parties. There are similar allegations against a former BVT department head, who, however, was recently released after an extensive testimony.
Several BVT officials are said to have passed on “personal data” to Wirecard and checked the solvency of providers of pornographic websites for Wirecard.
