On September 22, the prosecutor filed an indictment with the court against Tomasz T., charging him with aggravated robbery using a dangerous instrument, robbery, creating an immediate risk of a disaster in land transport, possession of a psychotropic substance, and attempting to induce someone to give false testimony.

Let us recall: T.

  • On April 18 in Bogatynia, he attacked 78-year-old Irena B., struck her in the face several times with his fist, and then stole, among other things, her wallet containing PLN 1,000. He later tried to persuade her to change her testimony
  • two days later in Opolno-Zdrój, using a paving slab, he attacked priest Marek R. (pictured in the header image); he struck him on the head with the slab (the victim lost consciousness) and then kicked him all over his body. He then stole the clergyman’s Renault Fluence passenger car, worth PLN 66,000, as well as other items. (In an interview with “Fakty TVN,” the priest said he was afraid that the attacker would take him to the forest)
  • On April 20 in Jelenia Góra, driving the stolen Renault at excessive speed, he attacked police officers. T. saw a marked police car standing across the road with its lights and siren activated. Two uniformed officers were inside: Tomasz G. and Krystian K. They signaled him to stop. He did not do so; on the contrary, he accelerated and rammed the police car. The officers were injured
  • on the same day, on public roads in Jelenia Góra and other nearby towns in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, he created an immediate risk of a disaster in land transport
  • he possessed 1.16 g of methamphetamine.

The accused faces a prison sentence of at least three years. However, a much harsher sentence will probably be handed down in this case. We will return to the subject.
