As the head of government wrote, Lublin police officers, together with officers of the Internal Security Agency, detained a person suspected of involvement in the crime, who "uses a Georgian passport" and is currently being interrogated. The services are still trying to determine who may have ordered the murder.
According to unofficial information from Onet, the man was detained on Thursday morning in a
building in Piastów near Warsaw. The incident occurred in a Georgian restaurant with a population of approximately 23,000. city residents.
The man offered no resistance. He didn't try to run away either. He probably didn't have time to react because the whole stopping action was very dynamic.
Unofficially: he used a fake passport
The man was tracked down by police officers from a special investigative group from the Provincial Police Headquarters in Lublin, established for this case. Officers from the Central Counter-Terrorism Police Unit "BOA" and the Independent Counter-Terrorism Police Unit from Lublin, supported by ABW officers, took part in the arrest.
The 36-year-old uses a Georgian passport. However — as we hear from our informants —
everything indicates that the document is false because the data does not match.
Preliminary findings of the services indicate that the 36-year-old is probably
of Chechen nationality.
The man was taken to the Warsaw Police Headquarters. Activities involving him are planned for today. The 36-year-old will likely be charged with murder today.
The Lublin police also published a statement on the case. "This morning near Warsaw, police officers from a special investigative group from the Provincial Police Headquarters in Lublin detained a man suspected of murdering a 44-year-old Russian citizen in Biała Podlaska," we read in the post.
Execution in broad daylight
The murder occurred on June 15, 2026. in the center of Biała Podlaska. An unknown perpetrator fired several shots at a 44-year-old man at close range, who died at the scene despite resuscitation attempts. The victim was a Russian artist and performer using the pseudonym Semyon Skrepetsky (Robert Kuzovkov), known for his open criticism of Vladimir Putin and other representatives of the Russian authorities.
— It looked like an execution. Several shots from close range and one "to finish off" — one of the officers told us.
— The Russian wrote a lot on social media about where he would be. Unfortunately, he was an easy target — adds our law enforcement source.
From the beginning, the investigation was of a special nature. In addition to the police and prosecutor's office, the Internal Security Agency was involved in the case, which indicated its possible importance for state security.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk has previously suggested that the murder may have a political background.
Immediately after the murder, two Belarusian citizens were detained, but, as the prosecutor's office later reported, their connection to the case was not confirmed and they were released.
