Magdalenka gangster previously wounded in Parole

Following a shooting in Parole, Robert Cieslak was clandestinely treated by paid doctors. Later, together with Belorussian Igor Pikus, the gangster orchestrated a massacre on the anti-terrorist group in Magdalenka and was himself fatally wounded. "This man [Cieslak] sustained wounds last year in Parole. If the doctors had then warned the police, as they were obligated to, then perhaps a tragedy could have been avoided," said one of the prosecutors from a Warsaw district court. Previously the police had issued a warrant for Cieslak's arrest in connection with the killing of a police officer in Parole. On the night of March 5-6, police attempted to apprehend Cieslak and Pikus, however two officers were killed by mines and hand grenades used by the bandits. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A9) A.C.
