Military court convicts Polish officer for spying for Russia and Soviet Union

A former Polish counter intelligence officer Czeslaw W. was convicted to four years imprisonment for spying for the former Soviet Union and Russia in the late 1980s and early 1990s by a Warsaw military court on Monday. It is known the officer spied for almost five years. He delivered secret Polish military intelligence to the Russians. According to Lieutenant-Colonel Slawomir Gorzkiewicz, Czeslaw W. did not plead guilty and there is no evidence he took money from Soviet Union officials. Polish security officials are concerned that Russia has intensified spying operations in Poland since it joined NATO last year. (Zycie, page 7, Reuters) A.Z.
