Russian couple jailed in Poland for espionage and sending parcel bomb

A Russian couple, Igor and Irina R., both granted refugee status in Poland, have been convicted of espionage and attempting to send a parcel bomb. The couple, former university students in Sosnowiec, were found guilty of collecting intelligence on Russian opposition activists and passing the information to the Federal Security Service (FSB). They were also implicated in a plot to send an explosive device via InPost. The trial took place behind closed doors due to national security concerns. Igor received a seven-year sentence, while his wife got three years. Both have already spent time in pre-trial detention, which counts toward their sentences. Their lawyers plan to appeal the verdict.

Bias read (Center): The article presents the legal case against the Russian couple in an objective manner, citing official sources such as the Polish prosecution and judicial rulings. While the subject involves international relations and national security, the framing remains balanced, avoiding overt ideological slant
