A Politico Europe article headline states that Jan Marsalek, a fugitive in the Wirecard scandal, claimed in messages to a Russian spy that he toppled Sebastian Kurz.

Wirecard is the company with which Marsalek is linked. The headline describes him as a fugitive. Kurz is the person whose removal Marsalek, according to the headline, boasted about in communication with a representative of Russian intelligence.

The source text available contains only teasers for other Politico articles, about Ceuta, US health agencies and the World Cup. It has no information on the content of Marsalek's messages, how they were obtained, when they were sent or what evidence supports the claim. The claim therefore cannot be confirmed or expanded on here.

What is known for certain is only that Politico Europe reports this claim by Marsalek. The full text of the article would be needed for further context.
