> organizing events to compromise somebody in order to blackmail them Yes, but this is exactly what did not happen here. > so there is at least somebody writing trying to figure out who's behind this Of course there is, and claiming that there isn't is just paranoia on your part. For whatever it's worth, here is another one: https://derstandard.at/2000103424380/Die-Drahtzieher-hinter-dem-Strache-Video https://derstandard.at/2000103424380/Die-Drahtzieher-hinter-... All Austrian and most major German-language news sites should have something along these lines, but you do have to look rather than assume that it doesn't exist. > "And last but not least, the house search in the BAT with all its consequences should be mentioned as a secret service disaster." Here is a summary, but only in German: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/BVT-Aff%C3%A4re https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/BVT-Aff%C3%A4re Very briefly, a police unit controlled by an FPÖ politician illegally searched the offices of the BVT (the office for constitutional protection and counterterrorism) and seized data, apparently mostly about right-wing extremist networks.

From your "der Standard" link: "In the field of intelligence, it points to the risk that left-wing activists would undertake with such an "operation" - after all, there are payment dates for the rental of the finca, the rental car and the flights that can be found out. Intelligence agencies would not have this problem. They can construct so-called legends, ie false identities. Even if the video were scattered in the activist scene, that does not mean that an intelligence background is excluded. So secret services used again and again confidants to spread content and disguise their involvement." So some western intelligence agency is still the most probable organizer, and it's not something that any country should be worried about? Even if the guy himself fell in the trap, the construction should be a major news topic. And it surely isn't, but I see that it's at least mentioned, thanks for that.
