- 5 - 5 Kotinsky, for his part, asserts that the CV described above is not his own and that an impostor had committed a crime under his name and using e aa tre teer de r e, for which he is now being held accountable. This method of defence, which he continues to maintain today, has already been disenfranchised by witnesses and, above all, by the use of his own images as evidence in the Frozez before the Prague District Criminal Court. During the trial, he repeatedly invoked his bad memory, which was caused by a head injury. Furthermore, he tried to bring various alibis, which however could be refuted by his own passport. The tragedy of his life is that as a Russian emigrant and German friend he became a victim of the intrigues of Benesh politics, which had persecuted him throughout the world and had staged all measures against him. SSgS Already in the above-mentioned trial before the Czech court in Prague all these allegations collapse together. On 18 and 23 February 194 he again relied on the same methods of his defence. When -Obersturmbannführer Böhme asked him to take a factual position on the concrete allegations, he evaded it under new innocency and promised to be able to teach credible documents for the integrity of his person. Above all, however, he was in possession of impeccable documents issued by rich German authorities, with which he could lead a counter-bee ice against the accusations charged to him. However, to this day, Kotinsky has failed to take the counter-evidence against these documents. In this way, he refers to the identity card mentioned in the accompanying extract from the police protocol, which had been issued to him by the police headquarters in Duisburg on August 25, 1993, as Count Olek Kotinsky-Kaunitz.
