Poland will investigate a Poznań-based company suspected of supplying parts for Russian strike drones, Polish Internal Affairs Minister Tomasz Siemoniak said, the Polish Business Insider reported on July 18.
Siemoniak confirmed that Polish components were found in Shahed drones.
“This case is absolutely outrageous,” he said.
He announced an ongoing investigation into potential violations of arms and technology export regulations, stressing that the prosecutor’s office will pursue charges and provide updates on the case’s progress.
The Polish government is working intensively to strengthen the sanctions system, the minister said.
Polish media previously reported that the state-owned Poznań company Wytwornia Sprzetu Komunikacyjny supplied parts for Iranian Shahed 136 drones.
These drones reportedly utilized pumps manufactured by the company, which is under the ownership of the Industrial Development Agency.
The company sold pumps to the Iranian firm Iran Motorsazan Company, which produces agricultural products. These pumps eventually ended up in factories producing military drones that were later exported to Russia, the publication said.
Although the prosecutor’s office initiated its investigation back in 2022, details of the case have only recently come to light.
