NATO's information: Polish police detained the Russian businessman

According to the representative of the Polish special services Stanislav Krykin, the arrested Russian has lived in Poland since 2003. He is accused of espionage in favor of Moscow. Poland's military police arrested a citizen of the Russian Federation last April, on suspicion of espionage. The Polish military counterintelligence has found out that the suspect had been collecting information about the NATO Armed Forces and troops in Poland. About it writes the Polish edition of TVP Info.

Deputy Minister of Special Services Coordinator Stanislav Zharin said that the Russian businessman and the reconstructor were included in the list of sanctions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Poland. In addition, the special services have achieved freezing of its accounts, as well as related companies. "The evidence collected by the SVK and then the military police indicate that the man is involved in espionage in favor of the Russian Federation," Zharin said.

The official reported that the detainee was in custody in anticipation of the completion of the investigation and the court hearing. The publication also states that the activities of the Russian to collect information about troops are critical for Poland and "sensitive" for the entire North Atlantic Alliance. The head of the Polish counterintelligence noted that the suspect has been in Poland since 2003. In 2006, the spy received the status of a long -term resident of the European Union.

"The position of international businessman and his hobby, focused on participating in historical reconstruction events, allowed him to gain authority in the RP, the EU and the Schengen area," the military counterintelligence service said. We will remind that on January 3, Stanislav Zharin declared weakening of the Russian Federation as a result of military aggression against Ukraine. He stated that the aggressor country was immersed in chaos.
