In Poland, members of a spy network were detained on charges of working for Russian intelligence, who, according to Warsaw, were going to blow up a train with weapons and humanitarian aid for Ukraine, writes Gazeta Polska, citing informed sources.
The network was uncovered by employees of the Internal Security Agency of the republic, together with the Lublin prosecutor’s office, the authorities call it the largest in the history of the country. From March to July this year, 15 people were arrested and charged with espionage. The defendants face up to ten years in prison, the newspaper writes. Among the detainees are citizens of Belarus, Russia and Ukraine.
According to the newspaper, the agents “were given instructions directly from Moscow,” and after completing the tasks, they were rewarded in cryptocurrency, mostly in bitcoins, which were then exchanged for cash.
The case materials contain 66 volumes. According to Gazeta Polska, the spy network was set up earlier this year, less than a year after the outbreak of hostilities in Ukraine.
