Hot‑stop of a 58‑Year‑Old Nigerian Dealer
During a patrol in central Warsaw, city police arrested a 58‑year‑old Nigerian citizen who was attempting to flee after a drug transaction was intercepted.
Seizure: 2 kg Marijuana and 500k Zloty
In the suspect’s apartment, officers seized almost 2 kg of marijuana and more than 500,000 zlotys, all linked to the drug operation.
Family Arrest: Polish Wife Detained
Police also detained the 54‑year‑old Polish wife, who is alleged to have participated in the drug business; surveillance evidence ties her to the sale of the seized substances and the collection of the proceeds.
Legal Measures: Temporary Arrest and Sentencing Prospects
The district police prosecutor requested preventive measures, and a court granted the couple temporary arrest for three months. They face up to ten years in prison for possession and trafficking of controlled substances. A separate criminal proceeding is underway for a 20‑year‑old Turkish suspect.
