In the Polish city of Schwednica, a 55-year-old Russian was detained for photographing trains and railway infrastructure. As Reuters reports, citing the Polish police, he is suspected of ties to foreign intelligence organizations, and the court has already decided on three months of pretrial detention. During the examination of his electronic devices, investigators discovered hundreds of thousands of files, including images of transport facilities and infrastructure both in Poland and abroad. Polish law enforcement authorities believe that the collected photographs could be used to undermine the country's security. The arrest occurred after police monitoring security for a soccer game noticed a man behaving suspiciously at a railroad crossing. The researchers claim that the photos were intended to be passed on to foreign intelligence, although specific evidence of these intentions has not yet been published. Against the background of constant warnings from Warsaw about Russian espionage activity, this event is already worrying in the context of national security, although a final decision on the legality of the charges has not yet been made by the court.
