Polish Border Guards operating at Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport in south-eastern Poland arrested a 46-year-old Ukrainian national arriving on a flight from Alicante after checks revealed he was the subject of an Interpol red-notice warrant for embezzlement and document fraud. The man appeared in local court on 11 February; judges placed him under supervised freedom while Ukraine’s extradition request is processed.

The arrest is the twentieth red-notice hit logged by the Bieszczady Border Guard this year, reflecting closer data-exchange between Polish authorities and their EU and Ukrainian counterparts. For employers the case is a reminder that Poland runs systematic Schengen Information System (SIS) checks even on EU-to-EU flights.
Companies rotating Ukrainian personnel through Rzeszów – the main logistics hub for NATO aid into Ukraine – should allow extra time for secondary inspections and verify whether any staff are subject to pending legal actions that could trigger detention at the border.
