The case concerns Gala Przyszłości Szpitala św. Łukasza, which took place on 25 October 2025 in the sports hall of I Liceum Ogólnokształcące in Bolesławiec. As we previously reported, the Prosecutor’s Office found that the elements of the act specified in Article 43 of the Act on Upbringing in Sobriety and Counteracting Alcoholism had been fulfilled. At the same time, it refused to initiate an investigation, finding the social harmfulness of the act negligible.
The istotne.pl editorial team obtained the agreement and invoice concerning bar service. The documents show that PLN 45,202.50 was paid for the service, and that the purchaser was Jolanta Sawczak privately, not Fundacja „Wspierajmy Zdrowie” (Sawczak is its president). At the same time, the agreement specified the sports hall of I Liceum Ogólnokształcące in Bolesławiec as the place where the service would be provided. This means that, already when the agreement was concluded, the parties knew where the service involving alcohol was to be provided.
In response, Ewa Węglarowicz-Makowska, press spokesperson for the Jelenia Góra District Prosecutor’s Office, stated that these circumstances had been known to the investigators before the decision was issued.
“The agreement concluded on 6 August 2025 specified the date of the event, 25 October 2025 (Saturday), as well as the location of the event (sports hall). These circumstances were known to the prosecutor on the date the final substantive decision was made to refuse to initiate an investigation due to the negligible social harmfulness of the act,” the spokesperson stated. Ewa Węglarowicz-Makowska.
As we mentioned, the documents show that the purchaser of the bar service was Jolanta Sawczak as a private individual. The invoice for the service was issued after the event had ended. The Prosecutor’s Office stated that a copy of it was also included in the case files.
According to the investigators, this circumstance does not affect the assessment of the act’s social harmfulness.
“The factual circumstances raised in the message sent by you do not affect a change in the assessment of the act’s social harmfulness, since that assessment consists of a number of other circumstances,” Ewa Węglarowicz-Makowska wrote.
The spokesperson also recalled that the previously issued decision “clearly shows that the elements of the offence under Article 43 of the Act on Upbringing in Sobriety and Counteracting Alcoholism had been fulfilled.” Despite this, the prosecutor decided to refuse to initiate proceedings pursuant to Article 17 § 1 point 3 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
The Prosecutor’s Office also emphasises that the decision is final and that there are currently no new, significant circumstances that would justify revisiting the case.
This means that the investigators maintain their previous position: in their view, the act described in the Act on Upbringing in Sobriety was committed, but its social harmfulness was so minor that it did not justify conducting criminal proceedings.
Reporting difficult issues is not always welcomed by those in power. Independent media can then lose advertising from public institutions. The future of local journalism therefore depends primarily on readers. If you value our work, you can support us.
