Russian intelligence reportedly uses organized crime for sabotage, with investigations linking Turkish mafia to Starlink arson in Poland.
German intelligence agencies have observed that Russian intelligence services increasingly rely on professional organized crime structures for sabotage operations, moving beyond just individual small criminals. This is supported by security circles suspecting the leadership of the 'Daltons' criminal group to be based in Moscow. Investigations are underway into a recent arson attack on a Starlink station in Poland, with suspicion that the Turkish mafia may be involved and possibly contracted by Russia to carry out sabotage.
Confidence: High
The report explicitly connects Russian intelligence services to sabotage activities involving organized crime, with an active investigation on a suspected Russian-commissioned arson attack on critical infrastructure in Poland, demonstrating hostile covert activity.
