French authorities detain and charge a Belarus-born man on suspicion of spying for Russia in connection with a French drone manufacturer, the Paris prosecutor’s office says. According to French reporting cited by Kyiv Post, the man is 48 and lives in Spain. The suspected activity involves filming a prototype drone made by Deliar, a company associated with drones that supply Ukraine. Prosecutors state that the arrest occurs on June 3 and is later confirmed on June 19. The case is described as stemming from the alleged transmission of drone-related video to a recipient in Russia. The Paris prosecutor’s office does not characterize the allegations beyond the suspicion of spying for Russia and says the individual is charged, indicating the matter moves into formal legal proceedings. The reports agree on the core elements: a detention in France, a Belarus-born suspect, links to drone-manufacturer activities involving a prototype drone, and allegations of sending information to Russia. Authorities’ investigation and any trial-related details are not included in the provided summaries.
