Ott weist laut Anwalt sämtliche Vorwürfe zurück

Der unter Spionageverdacht stehenden Ex-BVT-Chefinspektor Egisto Ott wirft laut seinem Anwalt die gegen ihn erhobenen Vorwürfe zurück, berichtet der “Kurier” (Freitag-Ausgabe). Ott befindet sich seit 1. April in Untersuchungshaft. In den kommenden Wochen will er den Angaben zufolge einen Enthaftungsantrag stellen, nachdem er zuletzt auf eine Haftprüfung verzichtet hatte.

“Herr Ott bestreitet sämtliche Vorwürfe. Es handelt sich um ein absurdes Konstrukt, die Beweislage ist mehr als dünn. Er wird hier zum Sündenbock gemacht”, zitierte die Zeitung Anwalt Jürgen Stephan Mertens. Es sei ihm ein Bedürfnis, Berichte wonach sein Mandant ein Geständnis abgelegt habe, zurückzuweisen: “Das ist absurd.”

In der Untersuchungshaft gehe es “wohl keinem gut”, so der Anwalt. Doch der Hungerstreik, den sein Mandant bei seiner Verhaftung in Paternion (Kärnten) angekündigt habe, sei nicht mehr aktuell. Der 61-jährige Ott befinde sich in der U-Haft in Wien-Josefstadt “aus Schutzgründen” in Einzelhaft.

Gegen Ott wird seit 2017 von der Wiener Anklagebehörde unter anderem wegen Amtsmissbrauchs, geheimen Nachrichtendiensts zum Nachteil Österreichs und Verletzung des Amtsgeheimnisses ermittelt. Der Festnahme vorangegangen waren jüngste Informationen, denen zufolge Ott Handyinhalte von Spitzenbeamten an russische Spione übergeben haben soll. Ott soll “systematisch” den russischen Geheimdienst mit geheimen, streng vertraulichen Tatsachen und Erkenntnissen aus dem Verfassungsschutz sowie personenbezogenen Daten aus Polizeidatenbanken versorgt haben.
