Austrian policeman turns out to be spy of the Turkish gang

An Austrian policeman who was exposed as a spy for the Turkish gang 'Osmanen Germania', has been sentenced to 9 months prison for leaking classified information.

The Turkish gang 'Osmanien Germania' has lately been organising itself as a boxer club in different countries like Germany, the Netherlands and Austria. Amid continuing police investigations on the activities of the Turkish gang, it became public that evidence material attained by the police in Austria was leaked to the gang members.

The 31 years old policeman, who was serving in the Austrian capital city Vienna, had leaked classified information to the brother of his wife, a member of the gang organisation. That policeman appeared in front of the judge in Vienna yesterday and was sentenced to a prison sentence of 9 months for 'abuse of office'.

Notably, the policeman has not been expelled from the police because his prison sentence amounted to less than a year. The decision on that question will be made by the disciplinary commitee of the police.

The police spy protected himself at court with the words "According to my opinion the 'Osmanen Germania' isn't a criminal organisation. I just intended to protect the brother of my wife" ,but the judge replied that the policeman told his wife's brother that "the group members are being wiretapped" and issued the sentence on that basis.

GERMAN POLICE HAD RAIDED THE HOMES OF THE GANG

In November last year, the German police conducted extensive raid operations on houses of members of the 'Osmanien Germania' gang in many cities within the scope of an investigation launched by the public prosecutor of Darmstadt and Criminal Court of the federal state Hessen. Many gang members were taken into custody after a big amount of drugs and weapons were discovered in these operations.

The Security Office of Germany is convinced that the gang has tight links to the AKP regime and is being organised by the Turkish secret service MIT. A police official had toldthe German press on November 9, 2016, that available information prove the 'Osmanien Germania' gang's ties to the Turkish secret service, and suspected that the confiscated weapons could have been used against Kurds in Germany.
