Poland charges group with sabotage on behalf of foreign intelligence
Six defendants face charges including sabotage, arms and drug trafficking linked to foreign intelligence aiming to cause social unrest, Polish prosecutors said.
- Polish prosecutors charged six men, three Poles and three Belarusians, on August 13 with sabotage and other crimes commissioned by foreign intelligence services.
- The charges followed an investigation triggered by evidence from the earlier case of Serhii S., a Ukrainian sentenced this year for sabotage on behalf of Russia.
- The indicted individuals face accusations including arson attacks on a warehouse in Gdańsk in March 2024, a storage facility in Marki in April 2024, arms trafficking, and drug trafficking.
- A prosecution representative stated that the investigation uncovered signs suggesting a criminal network within Poland was involved in enlisting individuals and coordinating sabotage efforts on behalf of foreign intelligence services.
- Poland's accusations against Russian and Belarusian secret services aiming to incite unrest have been rejected by Moscow and Minsk, while the case underscores Poland's position as a target due to its aid role for Ukraine.
