As the Alliance of Investigators discovered, Stepan Kostyuchenko, whom Polish intelligence services suspect of involvement in arson in shopping centers (the arson of a paint factory was planned), is not only an MMA fighter.
The Belarusian Investigative Alliance found that Kostyuchenko is connected both with Belarusian Nazi groups and with a Belarusian diplomat.
Judging by materials in open sources, Stepan, under the nickname “Pole,” has been associated with ultra-right Nazi groups close to the football movement since the mid-2000s. However, despite publications in the public domain, law enforcement agencies were not too interested in this.
In the photo of the car published after the arrest, the Alliance of Investigators of Belarus managed to find out that the Renault Sandero car with license plate 8678RE-7 belongs to Stepan Kostyuchenko.
His wife Ekaterina Sergeevna Kostyuchenko – nee Mikhnevich – is the daughter of the former Consul General of Belarus in Gdansk Sergei Mikhnevich.
With a high degree of probability, Stepan Kostyuchenko’s recruitment took place in Belarus due to contacts related to drug use, the ARB expresses the opinion.
Stepan Kostyuchenko is involved in the Nazi group Combat-18 (a tattoo on his leg as confirmation), Blood & Honor, as well as the Russian Espanyola battalion (formed from Russian football fans under the supervision of the FSB), the ARB claims.
The Polish Internal Security Agency (ABW) detained yesterday three suspects of working for Russian intelligence and committing sabotage. Among them are two citizens of Belarus and one citizen of Poland. We are talking about arsonists of large objects in Poland.
