Previous Detentions and Investigation Findings
Previously, police detained and questioned nine other individuals in this case connected to the fan club environment. They were released due to a lack of evidence regarding their participation in the incident.
According to information presented at a Sunday press conference by prosecutor Mariusz Boro艅 from the District Prosecutor’s Office in Krak贸w, surveillance footage from the scene indicates that the 36-year-old was beaten. The man was found by a passerby, and the victim died in the ambulance.
