On 21 July, a statement by the man convicted in a non-final judgment was published on the website of the Ziemia Bolesławiecka Association. It read:
I hereby kindly declare that the amount of PLN 4,818.63, which is in my account [...] and comes from fundraisers for my prosthesis […], I am transferring for the disposal of the Ziemia Bolesławiecka Association. Please allocate it to the person or people who need it. (Original spelling.)
What do you think about this? Did the judgment come as a wake-up call? Or is it just for show?
Let us remind you: we have written about the motorcyclist Mateusz B., the Bolesławiec Frog, many times in our articles, including in: Is there no stopping the Bolesławiec Frog?. Let us remind you: the young man had a serious accident in August 2014 on the road between Dobra (Bolesławiec commune) and Kliczków (Osiecznica commune). The rider's leg was torn off (he currently wears a prosthesis).
It would seem that after such an accident, our Frog would come to his senses somewhat and tone things down. Nothing could be further from the truth. Videos showing the man driving a passenger car recklessly kept appearing on YouTube.
Recently, it turned out that the Bolesławiec Frog had finally gone too far. The court banned Mateusz B. from driving vehicles. On Thursday, 7 July, the judgment became final. Since then, however, the road pirate has managed to violate the ban several times (the police disclosed six such cases).
The proceedings were conducted under an expedited procedure. The man was detained and questioned on 10 July. The first hearing took place on Monday, 11 July, and the second four days later. It is known that 20 proceedings are pending against Mateusz B., 19 of them related to driving a car. During the hearing, the defense argued that B. did not know he was subject to a court driving ban and requested an acquittal.
On Friday, 15 July, the judgment was finally handed down in B.'s case for violating the ban. The young man was sentenced to 10 months in prison, suspended for four years.
