French authorities arrested a 48-year-old Belarusian man on June 3, 2026, for allegedly spying for Russia at a drone manufacturing facility in Labège, near Toulouse. The suspect was caught filming a prototype drone that supplies both the French and Ukrainian armed forces. He reportedly sent the footage to a contact in Russia. This incident follows an attack on the same facility involving Molotov cocktails just days prior, indicating a potential sabotage attempt. The man has been charged with providing information to a foreign power, facing a possible 15-year prison sentence. The case highlights a broader trend of Russian espionage targeting European industrial sectors, particularly in defense technology. France's General Directorate for Internal Security (DGSI) is leading the investigation, which is part of a growing concern over Russian intelligence activities in Europe.
