The commanding officer of the riot squad in the capital police was supposed to rape an intern during an alcohol libation at the police station. The details of the event sound like a scenario from a dark thriller, but it's a violent reality that raises questions about supervision in formation. What prompted the superior to do this, and why did his colleagues not intervene sooner?
The event took place on 3 January 2026 in the Police Prevention Division in Piaseczno, Warsaw. According to the information obtained by Television Republic, a drunk commander of the 9th company OPP, Marcin J., consumed alcohol along with other policemen. At one point, he asked his colleagues out of the room, closed the door, and attacked a young police officer who was interning. The victim screamed for help, and her screams were heard by other officers who started knocking on the door. The commander did not open it until some time later, and the victim, with visible abrasions on the body, immediately reported the matter to the on-caller.
Prokuratura Okręgowa w Warszawie postawiła mężczyźnie zarzuty zgwałcenia oraz zmuszenia do poddania się innej czynności seksualnej. Sąd Rejonowy w Piasecznie zdecydował o tymczasowym aresztowaniu podejrzanego na trzy miesiące. Rzecznik prokuratury, Antoni Skiba, potwierdził: “Trwają intensywne czynności w tej sprawie. Jest do przesłuchania jeszcze kilkanaście osób”. Śledztwo obejmuje m.in. przesłuchania świadków, w tym policjantów obecnych na miejscu.
The police headquarters reacted immediately. The commander instructed the Control Department to take action to determine the details of the incident and promptly informed the prosecution. A suspected officer has been suspended from duty, and disciplinary action is being taken against him. At the prosecutor's request, the officer was detained and temporarily arrested. Additionally, psychological support was provided to the victim. The commandant also commissioned a branch oversight check, which may result in further consequences for those responsible.
