A Major Police Operation in Warsaw
The Warsaw police, in collaboration with Poland's Internal Security Agency (ABW), conducted a high-profile operation to dismantle a Chechen criminal network. Aslambek S., a 42-year-old man, was arrested as part of this investigation targeting transnational illicit activities. During the search of his residence, authorities discovered three firearms and ammunition hidden in a wardrobe in his bedroom.

The investigation revealed that Aslambek S. is allegedly involved in conflicts between criminal factions from Central Asia, including Kazakh, Kyrgyz, and Uzbek groups. These organizations operate on Polish soil and are suspected of engaging in various illicit activities. Polish authorities emphasized the importance of this operation in dismantling these networks and preventing potential violent score-settling.

Aslambek S., however, remains in custody and faces up to eight years in prison for illegal possession of firearms.
