Polish prosecutors accuse 16 people of participation in an organized criminal group and activities on behalf of Russia. "The accused carried out activities including the identification of critical infrastructure, military facilities and seaports," the prosecutor's office said.
According to the prosecution, members of the spy network "kept clients informed about the results of their intelligence, for which they received remuneration." Among other things, the detainees are accused of installing webcams on the transportation routes of Western military aid to Ukraine and trying to install GPS trackers on them. According to the prosecutor's office, they also carried out anti-Polish propaganda and prepared sabotage. Poland's special services did not disclose the nationality of the suspects, saying only that they were "foreigners from across our eastern border".
One of the detainees in the case was a 20-year-old Russian ice hockey player who plays for a club in Poland's first league. The suspects face up to 10 years in prison.
