According to the publication, the Ukrainian spent about six hours in a cafe in the open area of the terminal and worked on a laptop, which attracted the attention of the airport security service.
During the examination, a device capable of jamming radio waves in the ranges used for aviation communication, radar and navigation was found in the detainee’s possession.
At the same time, he could not explain why he was at the airport and for what purpose he had a silencer with him, Rzeczpospolita sources said. The man also claimed that he is both a military man and a businessman, and lives permanently in Canada.
On December 27, the prosecutor’s office accused the man of attempting actions that “endanger the safety of air traffic.” The muffler, laptop and phone were seized. The man was arrested for a month.
He himself pleaded not guilty and gave explanations that at the current stage are not supported by the collected evidence, said Piotr Skiba, the spokesman of the District Prosecutor’s Office. The department is considering versions ranging from attempted sabotage or espionage to checking the reaction of the security services.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine did not comment on the situation.
Devices for suppressing radio signals can disrupt the operation of mobile communications, GPS and other systems. Possession of such equipment in Poland is illegal, Rzeczpospolita notes.
On November 18, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced the bombings on the railway between Warsaw and Lublin and accused Russia of sabotage. Two citizens of Ukraine are suspected of involvement in the crime.
