Gazeta Polska: Russian spies in Poland were to blow up trains with aid for Ukraine
„A Russian spy network dismantled by the National Prosecutor and Internal Security Agency was planning to blow up trains with weapons and humanitarian aid for Ukraine,” the Gazeta Polska daily has reported.
Gazeta Polska (GP) reported on Wednesday that the Internal Security Agency, together with the Lublin branch of the prosecutor’s office, dismantled the largest Russian intelligence network operating in Poland in history.
„In total from March to July this year fifteen people have been arrested on charges of spying for Russia’s military intelligence. They could face up to 10 years in prison,” the GP said. According to the newspaper, these are citizens of Belarus, Russia and Ukraine.
The newspaper has also reported they received orders straight from Moscow, and got paid in cryptocurrencies (mostly bitcoin), which they exchanged to cash.
„The members of the spy network were paid by Russia to not just collect information, take pictures of civilian and military infrastructure, fuel anti-Ukrainian anti-NATO sentiments, but also prepare acts of sabotage,” the paper wrote.
Gazeta Polska learned that the 66 volumes of case files indicate that they planned to blow up trains carrying weapons and humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
