On Tuesday, another hearing was held before the Warsaw district court in the civil case brought by Karol Nawrocki against the owner of the Onet portal - Ringier Axel Springer Polska - for infringement of personal rights, which has been ongoing since mid-September.
The dispute concerns material published in May last year. according to which Nawrocki - as a security guard at the Grand Hotel in Sopot - was to participate in the "procedure of bringing prostitutes" for guests. As Onet pointed out, information on this matter was to be provided by Nawrocki's then colleagues from hotel security.
One of the informants was Nawrocki's co-worker, who on Tuesday gave testimony in court in this case as a witness.
The woman described the situation she witnessed while on duty near the reception desk of the Grand Hotel.
I noticed that Karol was entering the hotel with a woman and a man, which was quite unusual, because we didn't (...) bring guests to the hotel - she said. Then - as she added - she saw that Nawrocki got into the elevator with these people and went with them to the floors where the guest rooms were located.
The witness noted that this situation surprised her very much. She also assessed that both Nawrocki and the people accompanying him behaved freely.
The woman said that when Nawrocki returned to the reception area, she asked him what the situation she saw was about. Karol only replied that he could earn extra money by introducing girls to guests and if I wanted, I could join, the witness testified.
She emphasized that Nawrocki's answer shocked her, so she refused him "in quite harsh and mocking words."
The witness assessed that the appearance of the woman accompanying Nawrocki did not suggest to her who she was. She based the claim that she was a prostitute - as she said - on her conversation with Nawrocki.
