In late March 2022, the interior safety Agency detained Tomasz L., an worker of the Warsaw civilian Office, on suspicion of spying on the Russian Federation. According to the latest findings, the detainees were active in the liquidation of the Military Information Services.
According to the “Republic” he was to regularly bargain individual data from the Office and transfer them to the Russians as of 2017. These, on the another hand, were to usage them to prepare false identities for their agents. Although the worker’s actions were undoubtedly harmful, it turns out that the substance is much more serious than it might seem. A fewer years earlier, much more delicate data passed through the hands of Tomasz L. As determined by the investigative journalists of the Black and White programme, he was previously 1 of the individuals who participated in the liquidation of the WSI.
In 2006, it was decided to liquidate Military Information Services. This formation, as a continuationr of the Communist WSW, went into a fresh strategy and was immediately the origin of many controversy. She was accused, among others, of participating in the celebrated fuel mafia, of providing a safe shelter for people with a past in PRL peculiar services and placing their agents in the management of TVP station.
The most crucial and serious charge against the WSI was the tardiness which she showed towards Russian intelligence and the likelihood that the formation was the "long arm of Moscow" in the Republic. These accusations are not unfounded. For example, erstwhile a mirror operation was ordered in service to verify officers after courses in KGB and GRU, then WSI commander, General Marek Dukaczewski ordered her to be interrupted. Interestingly, he himself took courses organized by GRU in the summertime of 1989 in Moscow.
Similar to him were many staff officers with unclear pasts, and increasing controversy (e.g. activities associated with the WSI of suspicious Polish-Russian companies, suspects of being a origin of the flow agent), contributed to the liquidation of the service in 2006. 2 commissions were created for this process: decommissioning and verification. The first of these, with a completely classified composition, was established by the then Minister of National Defence – Radosław Sikorski.
It was her associate who was to be detained by Tomasz L. If the information provided is true, hundreds have passed through the hands of a Russian agent, if not thousands of individual materials and delicate data of agents, informants and details of secret operations of Polish intelligence.
Former Minister Sikorski claims that he has nothing to do with this vocation, and that his signature was simply a formality, while the people themselves were recommended by people close to the then government, specified as Zbigniew Wassermann and Antoni Macierewicz.
However, given Minister Sikorski's approach to the Russian Federation, these words must be called into question. Radosław Sikorski has frequently shown a friendly approach to the beginning of a power hostile to Poland. In 2009, just after the attack on Georgia, he stated that Russia's entry into NATO would be beneficial. A year later he invited Sergei Lavrov, head of Russian diplomacy, to the diplomatic meeting, where he was assured that Poland would support Russian efforts to modernise.
Recently, after the Russian Federation captured Crimea, in 2020, he stated that Russia is not our enemy and Poland adopts a strategy ‘on-call rusofoba“.
The case of Tomasz L. is 1 of the darkest cards of Polish intelligence in fresh years. If the detainee actually had access to secret papers of Polish intelligence, we can talk here about a advanced threat to Polish national security. It is crucial to note, however, the context of the participation of the erstwhile Minister Sikorski and the fact that the committee in which the agent was present was formed by his command. In the context of the openly pro-Russian attitude of the minister, it is essential to take a closer look at these unions. It is not known whether the scale of safety violations is even greater than it may seem.
