rferlASTANA -- Kazakh officials have denied any involvement in an espionage scandal in which two Austrian policemen were arrested for spying for Kazakhstan.
Kazakh National Security Committee (KNB) spokesman Kenzhebolat Beknazarov told RFE/RL's Kazakh Service that the KNB had nothing to do with the men arrested and has not received any official documents about the case.
The Vienna prosecutor's office told RFE/RL that the two officers are suspected of gathering information from a computer about Rakhat Aliev -- the former son-in-law of Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbaev.
