Overview

• Polish authorities confirmed an arrest in Pruszków near Warsaw under a German-issued European Arrest Warrant, and the detainee’s lawyer identified him as the Ukrainian national Wolodymyr Z.
• Prosecutors in Warsaw said further information would follow later in the day, with an initial interrogation planned by the Polish authorities.
• German investigators have identified seven suspected participants, and an Italian court has already ordered the extradition of 49-year-old Serhii K. detained in August.
• Investigative findings point to a small team that used a chartered yacht from Rostock, with trained divers suspected of placing charges near Bornholm in September 2022.
• Officials have not publicly confirmed the detainee’s name, extradition decisions are still pending, and competing narratives over responsibility persist as Ukraine rejects allegations of state involvement.
