The latest development in the high-profile case. As reported by Radio Wrocław, an indictment has been filed against 31-year-old Dawid Z..
Wrocław media outlet:
According to the prosecutor’s office, Dawid Z. does not admit guilt. He believes that since he did not hit anyone, nothing actually happened.
The man, who has been convicted multiple times of various offenses, now faces up to eight years in prison. Z. remains in custody.
Let us recall. Shortly before midnight on January 18, 2025, the 31-year-old behaved irrationally while sitting behind the wheel of a car at his disposal, and through his extremely irresponsible behavior created a direct risk of a disaster in land traffic.
The surveillance-camera footage secured by investigators clearly showed that, that night, it was narrowly avoided that pedestrians walking along the sidewalk suffered serious bodily harm.
Because the perpetrator hurried away from the scene, police officers alerted to the dangerous situation immediately began searching for the driver. Initially, their actions were preventive in nature, but criminal investigators soon joined them. The information they had indicated that the man had previously been in conflict with the law and would probably avoid contact with the justice system. That is exactly what happened, as the wanted man clearly wanted to avoid criminal responsibility for the act.
However, this could not continue for long, because in addition to the multifaceted search operations conducted by officers from the District Police Headquarters in Głogów and neighboring units, the best specialists from the Searches and Identification of Persons Department of the Provincial Police Headquarters in Wrocław joined the operation.
The wide-ranging operations and subsequent activities, carried out in cooperation with the District Prosecutor’s Office in Głogów, were also based on an arrest warrant issued for the 31-year-old. Experience and findings indicated that the man might use camouflage techniques, frequently change his place of residence and stay outside the country, so the police appropriately adapted the scope of their operations.
The search ended with the man’s arrest on March 18, after 8:00 p.m., when the 31-year-old least expected it. It took place in one of the multi-unit residential complexes in the western part of Lower Silesian Voivodeship.
On March 19, the detainee was taken to pre-trial detention.
