Poland Suspects Ambassador to Vienna of Spying for Russia
Poland investigators have questioned the country’s Ambassador to Austria Marek Jedrys, who is said to be spying for Russia.
A few days ago, Polish intelligence released a report saying that a few hundreds of senior bureaucrats were allegedly spying for Russia. The agents, who had been trained in the former Soviet Union and maintained close links with Russia’s authorities, worked in Poland’s military intelligence, WSI, that was wound up only in 2006.
Marek Jedrys has been summoned to Warsaw for consultations, said Pawel Zalewski, chief of the foreign committee of Moscow parliament. The government of Poland has provided no data to make clear whether Jedrys ever worked for WSI or had any ties with it.
The recent spying scandal with Russia involved ran high in Canada late past year. There, Paul William Hampel was detained on suspected spying in November of 2006 and deported to Russia.
