Spying for the Russian Federation and preparing a terrorist attack: in Poland they detained the Navalny associate - the media

To extend: in Poland, an indictment against the Russian oppositionist Igor R. and his wife Irina R. , who are accused of spying and preparing a terrorist attack in the Polish territory, have been submitted for trial. The investigation claims that the couple interacted with Russian special services and transmitted information that threatened the country's security. According to RMF FM, the National Prosecutor's Office of Poland sued a case against Irina and Igor R.

in Sosnovka, which was previously related to well -known Russian opposition figures, including Alexei Navalny and Mikhail Khodorkovsky. Polish investigators claim that he allegedly acted at Poland and planned a terrorist attack in its territory. The investigation believes that the spouse actively cooperated with the Federal Security Service of Russia (FSB). According to investigators, Igor R.

, hiding behind opposition activities, collected data on Russian critics of Putin's regime, who were in Poland and the Western countries, and his wife was responsible for encryption of this information and their transfer to Moscow. In addition, last year, Igor R. , together with two citizens of Ukraine and one Russian, allegedly organized the sending of a courier parcel with explosive materials, including nitroglycerin and military detonators.

The parcel was found at the courier company sorting center in Lodz before it could explode. "According to the expert opinion of the Bureau of Forensic Research Agency of Internal Security, which conducted a chemical analysis, the detected cargo contained, among other things, a powerful explosive, electrical warheads of Soviet production, made a portable battery, which served as an initiator, a metal thermos with a cumulative.

called the cumulative bomb, the explosion of which could cause significant damage to the infrastructure, " - said in the press service of the Polish Regional Prosecutor's Office. Last July, Igor R. was charged with creating a direct danger to life, human health or large property through explosives (Article 164 §1 in combination with Article 163 §1 of paragraph 3 of the Criminal Code). Since arrest in July 2024, the couple is in custody.

With regard to the other two defendants, their materials have been allocated to separate proceedings, which are still ongoing. The spouse, as RMF FM writes, believes that they were substituted. It is worth noting that the Russian Federation recruits more and more spies in Europe. In particular, two men and one woman were arrested in Britain on suspicion of assisting Russian intelligence in the framework of investigation into terrorism.
