A terrorist group suspected of conducting multiple arson attacks across the European Union on behalf of a foreign intelligence service has been taken to court. The group targeted commercial, transport, and factory facilities in Czech Republic, Lithuania, Poland, and Romania, aiming to intimidate populations, create fear and distrust, and hinder support for Ukraine. Joint investigations coordinated by Eurojust and supported by Europol led to arrests and convictions. Trials are ongoing, including one in Lithuania involving six suspects. The group used consistent methods, were connected to the same organizers, and included a Colombian national who committed arsons in Poland before acting in the Czech Republic. Recorded attacks were disseminated via Russian-language online media as false propaganda against NATO infrastructure.
