However, instead of immediate arrest, he was placed under surveillance and used for operational purposes. About this publication Onet.

After the Military Counterintelligence Service identified the alleged spy, he was denied access to classified data and began the so-called operational game. Its task was to identify communication channels, officers-curators, possible other agents, as well as topics of interest to the Belarusian side. All this time the man was under constant control of the counterintelligence.

According to Onet, the suspect is 60 years old, he worked in the Polish Ministry of Defense for more than 30 years and managed to change six different departments. He repeatedly went on vacation to Belarus, and in September 2025 found himself blocked there after Poland unexpectedly closed the border. At that time, as reported by Polish media, he asked the Defense Ministry to extend his vacation, citing difficulties in returning.
