The operation, conducted on Dworcawska Street, involved local police, the Internal Security Agency (ABW), and counter-terrorists from the CPKP \u201cBOA\u201d and the Lublin Police counter-terrorism unit.<\/p>\n<p>The Lublin Provincial Police confirmed the detainee is suspected of participating in the murder of the Russian national in Bia\u0142a Podlaska. The individual was found carrying a passport issued to a 36-year-old Georgian citizen.<\/p>\n<h4>Investigation and Political Context<\/h4>\n<p>Prime Minister Donald Tusk confirmed the arrest, noting that services are now working to identify the mastermind behind the hit. While authorities are examining potential political motives and a Russian connection, Tusk emphasized that concrete evidence is still being gathered.<\/p>\n<p>The victim, Robert Kuzowkow (pseudonym Siemion Skrepetski), was a Russian artist known for publicly criticizing Vladimir Putin and other high-ranking Russian officials. Investigators revealed that the victim had previously declined offers of protection from the police and ABW.<\/p>\n<h4>Case Background and Evidence<\/h4>\n<p>The murder occurred on Monday, June 15, on Kr\u00f3lowej Jadwigi Street in Bia\u0142a Podlaska. An assailant approached the victim and fired five shots before fleeing the scene. Previous arrests of two Belarusian citizens were dismissed after evidence failed to link them to the crime.<\/p>\n<p>A special investigative group remains active, having previously appealed for dashcam footage from motorists in Bia\u0142a Podlaska during the time of the shooting. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities have yet to disclose if formal charges have been filed or if a request for temporary detention has been submitted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A suspect involved in the murder of 44-year-old Russian citizen Robert Kuzowkow, known as Siemion Skrepetski, has been apprehended near Warsaw following a major operation by police and the Internal Security Agency.
