A serious incident reportedly took place on the night of April 11–12 in Raciborowice Dolne near Bolesławiec. According to information obtained by us, two perpetrators allegedly brutally beat a man. The injured man, according to reports, was first taken to the Emergency Department in Bolesławiec and was then transported to a hospital.

The case was not officially reported immediately. According to our informant, because of the injured man’s health condition, a formal notification was reportedly filed only on April 14, around noon. However, police officers had reportedly arrived at the hospital earlier and accepted a notification from the victim’s wife.

According to the person who informed the editorial office about the case, the beaten man was allegedly intimidated later. The report stated that “the perpetrators are sending people to persuade him to withdraw or refrain from giving further testimony.” (So far, we have not been able to confirm this).

What about the suspects?

The police are not informing the public about the details of the case for now. We received a response stating only that both suspects had been charged with beating (Article 158 of the Criminal Code). Article 158 of the Criminal Code:

§ 1. Anyone who participates in a fight or beating that exposes a person to the immediate danger of losing their life or suffering the consequence specified in Article 156 § 1 or Article 157 § 1 shall be subject to imprisonment for between 3 months and 5 years.

§ 2. If the consequence of the fight or beating is serious harm to a person’s health, the perpetrator shall be subject to imprisonment for between 1 and 10 years.

§ 3. If the consequence of the fight or beating is a person’s death, the perpetrator shall be subject to imprisonment for between 2 and 15 years.

We are now waiting for further findings by investigators. If new information emerges concerning the incident in Raciborowice Dolne, we will return to the subject.
