A court in Poland has found a Russian activist and his wife guilty of spying on behalf of Russia’s FSB security service and participating in a parcel bomb plot, Polish media reported Thursday.
Igor Rogov, a former employee of the now-defunct nonprofit Open Russia, was sentenced to seven years in prison for passing information about Poland-based Russian opposition groups and activists to the FSB.
He was also convicted of participating in a July 2024 scheme to send a courier package containing bomb components, which authorities intercepted before it reached its destination.
His wife, Irina Rogova, was sentenced to three years in prison under the same charges.
The trial, which began in January in the southern city of Sosnowiec, was held behind closed doors due to national security concerns, according to the English-language Polish broadcaster TVP World.
