April 29, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> A court in Pozna\u0144 has found Belarusian national Andrej R. guilty of espionage, Most<\/em> reported today citing Polish media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although prosecutors had requested a five-year sentence, the court sentenced the retired military man to three years in prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It found that limited evidence of Andrej’s guilt testified to his high professionalism. However, he only collected data on military facilities for a short period of time, and it is not proven that he has managed to pass it on to anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another suspect, driver and musician D\u017amitry N., was acquitted for lack of evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The closed-door trial began in October 2023. Investigators said the men came to Poland to work as drivers but their main goal was to spy on critical military and civilian facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the investigators, they gathered intelligence for less than a month. They accused the two of links to Belarus’ main intelligence directorate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
