He Revealed a Scandal, Then Died in Prison. Żurek: It Was Indeed an Astonishing Situation
The death of Polish boxer Dawid Kostecki, who had previously revealed a scandal, raises questions about potential foul play involving Russian special services.
The recent death of Dawid Kostecki in prison has prompted Roman Giertych to call for an investigation into possible foul play, suggesting the circumstances surrounding Kostecki's death bear striking similarities to other mysterious deaths linked to scandals, such as Jeffrey Epstein's. On February 4, Giertych announced via social media that he filed a request with the Attorney General on behalf of Kostecki's family to reopen an investigation into his death, expressing concerns over the handling of previous investigations by the ruling Law and Justice Party (PiS).
Giertych elaborated on the parallels between the alleged actions of Russian special services in the Epstein case and the Kostecki case, indicating a growing suspicion that Kostecki's death may not have been a simple suicide, but rather a targeted elimination of witnesses or individuals involved in what might be seen as politically sensitive investigations. This speculation raises important questions about the integrity of domestic policies and institutions involved in investigating such high-profile cases in Poland.
Finally, as Giertych plans to request the involvement of a specialized police unit known as "Archive X" to further investigate this high-stakes situation, the implications are significant. This case not only highlights potential issues within Poland's law enforcement and judicial systems, but it also underscores the dangers faced by those who bring sensitive information to light, at a time when political tensions and scrutiny of foreign influence are at an all-time high.
