SRI și DIICOT anunță reținerea unui cetățean rus pentru tentativă de sabotaj. Ar fi fotografiat baze militare din țară și avioane cargo ucrainene (FOTO)

A Russian citizen residing in Romania was detained by DIICOT for allegedly surveilling military bases and transmitting sensitive information. The SRI claims this prevented a coordinated sabotage operation by Russia. The suspect, monitored since February 2026, is accused of documenting military sites and troop movements, posing a threat to national security. His activities reportedly included photographing Ukrainian cargo planes and were conducted under the guidance of an intermediary via encrypted messaging. The investigation involved multiple Romanian agencies and foreign partners, with prosecutors seeking preventive detention for the suspect.
