Prosecutors have indicted two members of the unofficial Border Defense Movement for impersonating public officials and assaulting a witness while conducting unauthorized border checks in the S\u0142ubice and Gubin districts.<\/p>\n
The District Prosecutor’s Office in S\u0142ubice has filed an indictment against 50-year-old Dariusz B. and 44-year-old Rafa\u0142 M. The charges stem from incidents in June 2025, where the defendants, acting as members of the Border Defense Movement, performed duties legally reserved for state authorities.<\/p>\n
On June 4, 2025, the pair stopped two foreign nationals at the border bridge in S\u0142ubice to demand identification and question them about their stay, leading the victims to believe they were dealing with actual Border Guard officers.<\/p>\n
Rafa\u0142 M. faces additional charges for a June 7 incident in Gubin, where he interrogated another group of individuals. When a bystander began filming the encounter, Rafa\u0142 M. reportedly turned aggressive, grabbing the witness, knocking their phone away, and causing minor injuries.<\/p>\n
Days later, at the \u017bytowa\u0144 border crossing, Rafa\u0142 M. allegedly threatened the same witness with physical violence using threatening gestures and vulgar language. Both men are charged with the usurpation of public office, with additional counts of assault and criminal threats filed against M.<\/p>\n
The Border Defense Movement previously drew scrutiny in mid-June when members attempted to place a cross at a temporary monument in Berlin, resulting in German police intervention. Defense Minister W\u0142adys\u0142aw Kosiniak-Kamysz condemned the provocations, emphasizing that Poland\u2019s borders are managed solely by professional military, police, and border services.<\/p>\n
