Capital police and internal security agents arrested a 29-year-old Russian citizen in Warsaw on August 7 for allegedly plotting a contract assassination ordered by foreign intelligence. <\/p>\n
Officers from the Capital Police Headquarters’ Terror and Homicide Department, alongside Internal Security Agency (ABW) personnel, arrested a 29-year-old man in Warsaw on August 7 suspected of preparing a murder. Prime Minister Donald Tusk revealed that the detainee is a Russian citizen recruited by Russian services to target a man holding dual U.S. and Ukrainian citizenship.<\/p>\n
The arrest took place on Wo\u0142oska Street during a dynamic police operation following coordinated investigative work between the Capital Police and the ABW that gathered sufficient evidence to formally charge the suspect.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that the potential victim was a person inconvenient to Russian authorities, though no name or specific data was disclosed. Tusk noted that authorities thwarted the planned assassination at a very late stage of preparation. Unofficial findings indicate the target was a defense industry entrepreneur supplying Ukraine.<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister also pointed out that Polish services conducted their operations in cooperation with American counterparts, marking a joint effort to neutralize the threat.<\/p>\n
The suspect has been charged under Article 148a \u00a7 1 of the Penal Code in conjunction with Article 148 \u00a7 5, Article 148 \u00a7 1, and Article 11 \u00a7 2. Article 148a \u00a7 1 pertains to accepting a contract killing for material or personal gain, carrying a sentence of 2 to 15 years in prison, while Article 148 \u00a7 5 carries the same penalty for preparing a murder.<\/p>\n
The investigation is being conducted by the Warsaw \u015ar\u00f3dmie\u015bcie-P\u00f3\u0142noc District Prosecutor’s Office. On August 9, the court granted the prosecutor’s motion and remanded the 29-year-old suspect in temporary custody for three months, while police withhold further details to protect the ongoing proceedings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
