Poland: Foreigner held on suspicion of spying for Russia

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Prosecutors in northern Poland said Monday a foreign national suspected of spying for Russia will remain in custody for three months until an investigation is completed.

Prosecutors in Gdansk responsible for military matters said the foreigner, whose identity has not been released, admitted to having passed sensitive information to Russian intelligence.

The suspect has been in European Union-member Poland since January and has collected information on key infrastructure and security procedures in the country's north, spokeswoman Grazyna Wawryniuk said.

Poland’s gas terminal and key ports are located in the north.
