In 2006 and 2007, the property of a department store Kleider Bauer, in front of which anti-fur demonstrations were held every week, was damaged several times by unknown individuals. After one such attack, the two owners of the company attended a secret meeting with the heads of the police and the interior ministry. As seen from the minutes (disclosed later by the media), the police chief pointed out that no evidence of a connection between these attacks and the demonstrations had been found. But incredibly enough, the chief of the ministry's public security bureau ordered the police to "exhaust all administrative possibilities to ban the demonstrations in front of the company".
However, this was just the beginning. The most significant decision of the meeting was the foundation of a special investigation unit SOKO which was to focus on the well-known animal protection activists and organisations. Thirty-three elite police officers were allocated for this task. During the next 12 months, a gigantic spying action was put into operation. All phone calls of the leading campaigners were tapped and their movements were followed by tracking their mobile phones; e-mails were read, including those which were several years old; organisations were infiltrated with spies, and cameras and bugs were installed in cars, offices, and private homes.
The damage caused by unsolved attacks on the property of animal enterprises within the past ten years was claimed to be €600,000 (although 70% of this sum was dismissed by the insurance company in charge). Nevertheless, the police did not hesitate to pump several million euro into this investigation. In a secret interview with an Austrian daily, "Österreich", a police officer from the Austrian federal criminal agency said the following: When we do investigations against drug dealers, child pornography traders, or Russian mafia, exceeding a budget is always a problem. But in this case, money was never an issue.
