The head of the Directorate for State Security and Intelligence (DSN), Omar Haijawi-Pirchner, is retiring at the end of the year. He will lead the project to evaluate the State Security and Intelligence Service Act and the DSN. On behalf of the then Interior Minister and later Chancellor Karl Nehammer (ÖVP), Haijawi-Pirchner's task was to restructure the agency from the ground up. This included separating state security from intelligence tasks—a central pillar of the reform. Anti-state scene: 16 house searches and 33 arrests.
