Poland detains hockey player suspected of being a Russian spy

Poland has detained a Russian hockey player suspected of being a spy for Moscow while playing for a club in the EU country, the Polish government said on Friday.

“The arrested man is a professional athlete from a first-class hockey club,” the statement says, adding that the Russian, who has been living in Poland since 2021, was charged with espionage and jailed for three months.

“Russian spies are attacking one by one,” Polish Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro said in a post on Twitter. “A spy acting under the guise of an athlete was caught,” he said.

The official said this is the capture of the 14th member of an espionage network.
