Warsaw, Jul 29 (AP) – On Tuesday, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced the arrest of 32 individuals suspected of collaborating with Russia in acts of sabotage, as reported by the Polish news agency PAP. One person has been sentenced, while the remaining suspects are held in custody awaiting trial. According to PAP, the group comprises individuals from various nationalities, including Poles, Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, and a 27-year-old Colombian accused of conducting two arson attacks in Poland last year under Russian direction.

The Polish Internal Security Agency released a statement on Tuesday indicating that the Colombian suspect could face a sentence ranging from 10 years to life in prison due to his involvement in the arson attacks on two construction warehouses slated for May 2024.

The agency claims that the suspect received instructions, including guidance on crafting a Molotov cocktail to ignite the fires, from an individual linked to Russian intelligence.

At this time, further details regarding the suspects or the alleged acts of sabotage have not been disclosed. (AP) SCY SCY
