Unknown name (Danielle Durand, Dani)

2007–2008

“Danielle Durand” infiltrated animal rights groups in Austria, including Verein gegen Tierfabriken (VGT, Association Against Factory Farming). She also attended events in the Netherlands and Switzerland. She attended meetings, demonstrations, and other events, and participated in civil disobedience actions. She formed friendships with her targets. On one occasion, she took two water bottles used by activists and gave them to the police so that they could collect the activists' DNA on the bottles. She had a sexual relationship with one of her targets. Her infiltration contributed to the prosecution of 13 activists, though they were all ultimately acquitted.
