On 27 January 2026, a terrorist group suspected of conducting multiple arson attacks on commercial, transport, and factory facilities across the Czech Republic, Lithuania, Poland, and Romania was taken to court. The group acted on behalf of a foreign intelligence service and targeted sites including factories producing materials for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Investigations revealed links between these attacks and coordinated subversive activities by a citizen of Colombia responsible for arsons in Poland and the Czech Republic, with disinformation spread via Russian-language media falsely blaming NATO military infrastructure. In Romania, a suspect was sentenced to six years in prison for sabotage. In the Czech Republic, a suspect received eight years' imprisonment, expulsion, and ordered compensation. Lithuania is preparing trials for six suspects. Joint investigations were led by Eurojust and involved multiple national authorities, with Europol providing operational support. The prosecutions reflect efforts to counter terrorism and misinformation aimed at destabilizing support for Ukraine in the war.
