A 55-year-old Russian citizen has been arrested in Świdnica, southwestern Poland, on well-founded suspicion of espionage, reported the Polsat News television channel on Friday, citing official sources. According to police reports, local officers noticed the man acting suspiciously near a railway crossing. Upon searching his vehicle, authorities discovered a professional camera, which the man had allegedly used to photograph trains and railway infrastructure. A subsequent forensic analysis of the seized data storage devices revealed hundreds of thousands of files containing images of critical railway and road infrastructure facilities both within Poland and abroad. Lukasz Dudkowiak, spokesperson for the Lower Silesian Police Headquarters, confirmed to Polsat News that the suspect was also found in possession of multiple identity documents issued in various names. A court has ordered the man to be held in pre-trial detention for three months. Jacek Dobrzynski, spokesperson for the minister coordinating the special services, stated on social media that since the beginning of 2024, the Polish Internal Security Agency (ABW) has brought charges against 90 individuals in connection with ongoing espionage and sabotage investigations.
