Kraków police chief fired for aiding a shooter

The reason for this decision was his signature on a gun permit for a criminal. A few weeks ago the criminal, Adam B., shot three people in a bar and later committed suicide. "He received body armor and a gun permit, as he claimed he could die [he was a member of one gang, later switched to another and promised to blackmail companions]," said one of the officers of police main headquarters. According to Internal Affairs from the main headquarters, the Kraków policemen violated official procedures while issuing a gun permit to him. "Having learnt the results of the internal investigation I had no other choice. I had to move a proposal to sack commander Rapacki. Materials from the investigation will be sent to the prosecutor," said Chief Police Office Marek Bienkowski. (Rzeczpospolita, p.A6) M.M.
