A Polish court jailed a former Russian opposition activist and his wife for spying for Moscow on Thursday and also accused them of organising a parcel containing explosives.

Authorities in Warsaw have warned of Russian sabotage acts in Poland since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine more than four years ago.

According to court documents seen by the AFP news agency, Russian citizen Igor R., identified by Russian media as Igor Rogov, was jailed for seven years while his wife Irina was sentenced to three years.
