Ukrainian Detained over Threats to Nawrocki

Criminal police officers in the Polish city of Zielona Góra detained a 36-year-old Ukrainian citizen who had publicly threatened to kill Polish President Karol Nawrocki online. According to polsatnews.pl, the statements and threats directed at the head of state were made during an interview published on an online channel.

After the police obtained the incriminating video recording, investigators immediately located the suspect's whereabouts and detained him.

Local police spokeswoman Anna Baran confirmed that the detained foreign national was brought before the prosecutor's office on Saturday, which was reviewing the case files at that time. The 36-year-old suspect will most likely face formal charges of insulting a constitutional body of the Republic of Poland in connection with threats against the president.

If found guilty, the perpetrator faces a fine or imprisonment for up to two years.
