Polish diplomat allegedly beaten up by Russian police

Russian newspaper Kommiersant announced that a Polish diplomat was beaten up by the police in the city of Dorożnyj in the Kaliningrad region. The city is famous for drug dealing and sexual services. On Friday, the anti-drugs unit raided local establishments of ill repute. The diplomat, assistant to the deputy consul, was stopped by officers in combat uniform, despite the fact that he was driving a car with diplomatic plates. According to Kommiersant, during the search, the diplomat lost a tooth and his glasses and camera were smashed. The police, however, did not discover any illegal substances in the man's car. It is not known what the man was doing in that place in the middle of the night. The Polish Foreign Ministry produced a different version of events, "There was no such incident. The diplomat's documents were examined, then he was allowed to continue on his journey," (Rzeczpospolita, p. A5) M.M
