Polish police have detained a Georgian citizen on suspicion of murdering the artist Skrepetsky

In Poland, law enforcement authorities have officially detained the prime suspect in the murder of Russian artist Semyon Skrepetsky, which took place in the city of Biała Podlaska. 

The detained man was carrying a Georgian passport, and the special operation was carried out by the Lublin police in cooperation with the Polish Internal Security Agency (ABW). 

Currently, the key task for Polish law enforcement remains determining the motives and identifying the individuals who organized the attack on the artist. 

The country’s security services have already begun actively working to identify the possible masterminds behind this brazen and brutal murder in the border town. 

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk separately noted during a press briefing that “everything points to a political assassination, but we need to wait for concrete evidence.”

Meanwhile, the local district prosecutor’s office officially announced the release of two Belarusian citizens whom Polish law enforcement detained immediately after the crime was committed. 

Investigators questioned them in detail as witnesses and determined that these individuals had no connection to the planning or execution of the attack. 

Earlier, Polish media had reported that one of the detained Belarusians was a taxi driver who had driven the attackers from Warsaw.
