Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said authorities had detained 32 people suspected of collaborating with Russia for sabotage, the Polish news agency PAP reported.

The group includes Poles, Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians, PAP reported, as well as a 27-year-old Colombian who is accused of two arson attacks in Poland last year at the behest of Russia.

One person has been convicted, while the others are in custody awaiting trial. The Polish Internal Security Agency said in a statement today that he faces a prison sentence of 10 years to life in prison in connection with the arson of two construction warehouses in May 2024.

The suspect allegedly received instructions, including how to make a Molotov cocktail to start a fire, from someone connected to Russian intelligence.

Other details about the suspects or the alleged sabotage were not immediately available.
