An ice hockey player from Poland’s major league has been charged with spying for Russia, Warsaw says.
The man, a Russian citizen, was arrested on 11 June in Silesia, southern Poland, and is believed to be part of a Russian spy ring.
Poland’s Internal Security Agency (ABW) has so far detained 14 people suspected of being part of the group.
It says all of them are citizens of countries to the east of Poland, not necessarily just Russia.
