Russian intelligence agents have infiltrated security and law enforcement agencies in Austria, Poland, and Germany. Austrian SAB officers were found to be Russian agents assisting Russians in locating and tracking Austrian personnel. A high-ranking judge in Poland, identified as a Russian agent, recently fled the country. In Germany, a foreign intelligence officer was convicted late last year for spying on behalf of Russia. This indicates a targeted Russian recruitment and placement campaign within key security and law enforcement institutions to obtain information and intimidate or weaken the host country internally. The source notes that such infiltration is not happening in Latvia.
