According to the online report of “profil”, this can be found in the memorandum of an IT expert at the Innsbruck public prosecutor’s office. This determined against Fuchs on suspicion of violation of official secrecy.
The IT expert also evaluated the browsing history of Fuchs’ mobile phone – namely his internet activities shortly before his appearance in the parliamentary U-committee on March 10th and the confiscation of his mobile phone on March 15th of the previous year. According to the 144-page report, the expert found “a great many indicators” that point to “research into the topics of data deletion and data recovery, as well as possible concealment of communication.”
“Classified information” on Pilnacek’s cell phone
According to “profil”, Fuchs had also uploaded a part of the file to the Dropbox cloud service that was “classified”. A fragment of this closing act was found on the cell phone of the former section head Christian Pilnacek.
The public prosecutor’s office in Innsbruck is investigating against Pilnacek, who has since been suspended, because of the suspected disclosure of secret information from investigation files. He is said to have revealed a house search at the entrepreneur Michael Tojner – instigated by Tojner’s legal adviser, ex-ÖVP justice minister, vice chancellor and constitutional judge Wolfgang Brandstetter.
Fuchs is still in office, but Justice Minister Alma Zadic (Greens) withdrew some of his powers after the mobile phone was confiscated. He explained to the IT report to “profil” that he was certain that as head of the OStA Vienna “always acted correctly and in accordance with all legal requirements”. Like Pilnacek, he has denied all allegations, the presumption of innocence applies.
