The Warsaw Regional Prosecutor\u2019s Office has opened an investigation into individuals associated with the \u201cWe Defend the Polish Border\u201d group for impersonating public officials and harassing travelers at Warsaw Central Station.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors in Warsaw are investigating reports of individuals impersonating public officials and stopping passengers at Warsaw Central Station. Prosecutor Mateusz Martyniuk confirmed that the probe targets members of the group known as \u201cBronimy Polskiej Granicy\u201d (We Defend the Polish Border).<\/p>\n
The case follows the circulation of online footage showing men in uniforms marked with \u201cBPG\u201d emblems questioning two individuals of dark complexion inside the station. The Ministry of the Interior and Administration has emphasized that impersonating a public official is a criminal offense.<\/p>\n
The Warsaw Regional Prosecutor\u2019s Office formally initiated proceedings on June 13, 2026, citing the unauthorized detention and identification checks of citizens. Investigators have secured surveillance footage from the Central Station and are analyzing online materials linked to the event.<\/p>\n
Karolina Ga\u0142ecka, spokesperson for the Ministry of the Interior, stated that Warsaw police have been collecting evidence for several days. She warned that such actions undermine public trust in state services and exacerbate social tensions, asserting that there is no tolerance for unauthorized individuals acting as law enforcement.<\/p>\n
Police spokesperson Jacek Wi\u015bniewski noted that while authorities have identified the individuals involved, no formal victim complaints have been filed. He advised citizens that if they are unsure of an officer’s authority, they should request identification or call 112.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Donald Tusk described the group’s actions as political hooliganism rather than a widespread issue. He vowed that the law would be applied strictly, warning that anyone caught impersonating an officer to target individuals based on their skin color or origin will be detained and prosecuted.<\/p>\n
