Well-known criminal lawyer to represent firecracker throwing RTR member

The man, originally thought to be from Liga Republikanska, is now said to be from another rightist group, the Third Republic Movement (RTR). He threw the firecracker at demonstrators from the Polish Socialist Party (PPS), injuring a reporter and a cameraman from TV station RTL7 and Krzysztof Dunin-Wasowicz, a demonstrator. TV cameras recorded the incident and the police now hold the tapes. If the prosecutors office charges the man with endangering lives using explosives, he will face up to 10 years in prison.
