It turned out that the 41-year-old had already been convicted of abusing a close family member. – However, that was not the end of his problems – the spokesperson stresses. – The man tried to avoid arrest and, during the official procedures, offered the police officers PLN 200 each in exchange for abandoning further official action and releasing him.

The officers informed the aggressor that this was a crime. Despite this, the 41-year-old resident of Lwówek County insisted that the officers release him.

He faces up to 8 years in prison for attempting to bribe police officers.
