Why all spies love Vienna

Vienna, the city of Sachertorte, classical music... and spies? Yes, Vienna is considered the undisputed spy capital. There are probably more spies here than in any James Bond film. The Russian secret service is particularly active in the city, but North Korean spies have also caused their fair share of bizarre scandals in the past. And now, Vienna is also hosting the biggest espionage trial in the country's history.
