Investigators allege the group supplied Russia with significant quantities of components used to make ammunition and weapons systems despite an embargo.
Polish authorities said 6 people had been arrested over alleged shipments of military components to Russia.
Poland has charged 4 suspects with espionage over alleged shipments of military components to Russia, its Internal Security Agency said. The agency said the 4 were placed in pretrial detention for 3 months.
Investigators allege that the group illegally supplied Russia with significant quantities of parts used to manufacture ammunition and weapons systems, despite an embargo. Intelligence coordinator Tomasz Siemoniak said the operation was designed to circumvent the restrictions, DW said.
The agency said the other 2 suspects are subject to restrictions outside custody. All 6 face allegations of violating rules governing international trade in goods and technologies of strategic importance to national defense and international security.
Siemoniak said the suspects are 5 Poles aged 25 to 52 and a 37-year-old Russian woman. The agency said the woman was among those charged with espionage. The charges and allegations are not findings of guilt; the suspects are presumed innocent.
The recorded total rose 7% to the highest level in the comparable series, but the UK Home Office says the figures likely capture only a fraction of offences.
