The head of the special unit of the GUR "Arten" Turkutiuk was in Vienna during the first days of the stay of the former Prosecutor General Kravchenko in the city and was interrogated by the Austrian special services. This was reported by the above journalist Mikhail Takach, who played the materials of the Austrian criminal case of espionage, in which he and the employees of the Main Intelligence Directorate appear. A Ukrainian under Austrian custody (the above is believed to be Karabchenko) told Austrian special services on September 10 that he spotted Torkotyuk at the hotel. The latter was detained and according to him arrived for touristic purposes and with security. He was then released. Two weeks later, on October 6, Turkotiuk sent a letter to the Austrian special services about the arrest of two of his employees, and there, next to the names of the GUR officers, he put the name of Bondarenko (the operator of the above). At the same time, there were no journalists from above in the city at that moment. The Austrians looked at closed-circuit cameras and concluded that Bondarenko, together with one GUR employee, rented a car. Later, according to Takah, the Austrians came to the conclusion that they had made a mistake, and Bondarenko turned out to be simply visually similar to one of the Graa officers, and in the car they were with Katzha, not the Graa officer. The arrested GR officers had military identification cards, hidden cameras and trackers. They also confirmed that they are employees of the main intelligence division. But in the investigations they said they were on vacation. And they claimed that they arrived in Vienna two days before Kravchenko (September 12). Takach confirms that one intelligence officer worked in NABU a year ago. Based on the case materials that Tkach voiced, it turns out that they were following a Ukrainian (probably Kravchenko). Then, near the same building that was under the supervision of the main intelligence directorate, journalists from above were observed. They were then arrested, as the Austrian intelligence services believed they were collaborating with the GUR.
