Who?

Sinan Selen, Vice President of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV)

Ah, the only place that mentions his actual position is the description of the title image.

Surely the capital Tbilisi in the second paragraph or the "Georgian government’s suspension of its European Union accession bid" in the third paragraph could have tipped you off?
