Austrian MP calls for indiction of Putin in connection with murder case in Vienna

A Vienna newspaper, Der Standard, reported details of a Tuesday press conference by the speaker on security of the opposition Green Party, Peter Pilz, known for his investigations into the crimes of the Austrian political secret police and Russian terrorist gang of the FSB.

These details have been omitted for reasons of political correctness in the information, issued by the Austrian state news agency APA.

At the press conference, Peter Pilz demanded to open a criminal case primarily against Putin for the murder of Israilov, in addition, of course, to the criminal case against Kadyrov.

He said:

"Secret intensive cooperation between the Austrian ministry of interior (the Austrian secret police is subordinated to the ministry of interior - KC) and the Russian FSB seeks to prevent prosecutorts from opening a criminal case against Kadyrov.

This is done in order to protect Putin against charges, because Kadyrov is the governor in Chechnya, appointed directly by Putin. That is why the public prosecutor's office limits itself with the prosecution of some small fish among criminals and doesn't touch Kadyrov".

It is to be recalled from our part, that, according to a lengthy article previously published in The New York Times earlier this year, the final order to murder Israilov (and not "to attempt to kidnap", as Austrians claim) was given by Putin personally.

On January 6, 2009, the Moscow bureau of The New York Times appealed personally to Putin, through his speaker, for an interview in connection with Putin's crimes in Chechnya, which were exposed at the European Court for Human Rights by Israilov on the basis of his data and personal testimony.

Putin declined to be interviewed. However, on Jan. 13, 2009, Israilov was killed in Vienna. No man - no problem, as the KGB/FSB says. Putin can sleep quietly now.

Meanwhile, the scandal grows. The Vienna newspaper Kurier reports about new developments around the joint terrorist operation on the murder of Umar Israilov by Austrian secret police and the FSB:

"It sounds like an irony: what has not been refused to Umar Israilov, which was the reason why was later killed, was granted to a secret police informer Kosum Yesherkayev. We speak about police protection.

According to latest media reports, the police took measures to protect Kosum Yesherkayev living in Vienna, because they do not rule out that the exposed secret informer may now face reprisals.

Meanwhile, the Vienna Office of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution and Fighting Terrorism makes attempts to justify itself.

According to the office, Kosum Yesherkayev had allegedly reporrted to police only general, non-evaluated information. Thus, in 2008, he reported that 2 Kadyrov's emissaries are to arrive to Vienna. The information was accurate.

However, it is possible that Kadyrov's emissary Shaa Turlyaev and his companion traveled to Austria solely within the framework of a general program for the return of compatriots in order to persuade Chechen refugees to return home, the Austrian secret police claim.

A few hours earlier, police told gullible journalists that Shaa Turlayev came to Vienna to visit local doctors, so that they make him a prosthetic leg, which he, "a hero of Chechnya", lost in the war. The newspaper continues:

"Although after Kosum Yesherkayev's report, Turlayev was watched by the Vienna Office, he was able to meet freely with future Israilov's murderers Otto Kaltenbrunner and Lecha Bogatyrev and then freely travel further to Paris.

To answer the question why Kosum Yesherkayev acts in a double role of an accused and a witness, there is a simple explanation, according to the Vienna office of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution and Fighting terrorism.

The Vienna Office sent an application to prosecutors against Kosum Yesherkayev asking them to open a case against him as the accused (only after the scandal caused by the publication in Der Spiegel, otherwise, the prosecutors had to investigate the terrorist activity of the police "anti-terrorists" - KC). The prosecutors did not react.

According to the speaker of the prosecutors Thomas Vecsey, from the very start, in all their investigations, the prosecutors considered Kosum Yesherkayev as a suspect. However, according to Vecsey, there is still no evidence that Kosum Yesherkayev not only knew about the upcoming plot against Israilov, but also was involved in it in any form. Therefore, he is further considered as a suspect, and no charges were brought against him", the Vienna newspaper Kurier writes.

Meanwhile, Russian media continue to censor information about the political scandal erupted in the Austria. Some Russian media on September 7 published a single phrase about "an informant of the Austrian intelligence". Most of Russian media simply ignored the story, although it involves Putin and Kadyrov.
