Daria Ostapenko, a veterinarian by profession, was arrested in Poland. She is suspected of collaborating with Lukashenko's secret services for about seven years.

Part of her cover story was to work as a model and receive money from subscribers for online pornography, it was claimed. The 36-year-old is accused of posing as an opposition activist seeking to overthrow Lukashenka, while actually informing the KGB about Belarusian democracy activists who fled abroad. Sources say that there is evidence of her ties to the K.G.B.
