Russian Nationals Face Espionage Trial in Poland
Two members of the infamous Wagner Group are set to stand trial in Krakow on September 9th for espionage and recruitment of mercenaries in Poland. Aleksei T. and Andrei G. were arrested by the Internal Security Agency in Warsaw and now face charges of working for a foreign intelligence service and being part of an armed international organization intending to carry out terrorist activities.
The charges were brought by Małopolska prosecutors in June, and if found guilty, the defendants could receive up to 10 years in prison. This case has drawn significant attention as it sheds light on the presence of covert operations in Poland carried out by foreign entities. The trial is expected to bring more details to light about the activities of the Wagner Group and its involvement in the region.
