Austria plans to expand its espionage laws so that for the first time they will also apply to espionage against international organizations, thus closing a legal loophole in a country that hosts key institutions, including the IAEA, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and OPEC. The bill would also double the maximum prison sentence for espionage against Austria from five to ten years, and toughen the punishment for sabotage in the service of a foreign country, damage to data and attacks on computer systems. Parliament will now examine the legislation.
