Russia and Austria

A Russian space agency official has been arrested in Austria because he is being suspected of espionage. Russia has expressed how strongly they feel regarding the arrest and insist that the official be released since they claim that he was under the protection of diplomatic immunity. Since he was attending a UN meeting and stated that because of that the official is to be released. The Russian official was arrested together with an Austrian Military officer who is suspected of having handed on the information to the Russian official.
This is one more event creating even more tension between Europe and Russia.
