German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung did a witty profile on Kleindienst today:

The gist of it: a former disgraced Austrian police officer selling out information and spying on VIPs and other assorted celebs in the late-90s, supposedly ‘came into money’ with shares by 2004 and morphed into ‘property development’ in the Dubai region. A mover and shaker - if we want to avoid the term ‘pirate’.

Somebody able to change a £ 9 note into three £ 3 notes…
