This information was provided neither by the District Court—the 2nd Criminal Division in Bolesławiec—nor by the Lower Silesian Voivodeship Inspectorate for Environmental Protection in Wrocław. Only the Regional Prosecutor’s Office in Jelenia Góra informed the authorities that an indictment had been filed against a suspect. However, no final judgment had been issued in the case by the time the waste was removed.
Administrative proceedings concerning the removal and management of the stored waste were initiated ex officio. The municipal authorities announce:
However, this does not conclude the actions in this matter—the tractor unit with its trailer is still located in the car park, causing inconvenience to property owners. The Head of Bolesławiec Municipality will take the necessary steps to remove the vehicle from the site.
