A teacher from Krakow involved in opioid trafficking. Did the medicines reach the students?

Several hundred prescriptions and 900 packages of medicines

The teacher's detention is the next stage of an extensive investigation conducted by Krakow police officers. According to the findings, between 2020 and 2025 the man contacted an anesthesiologist who had already been arrested.

The doctor was supposed to issue prescriptions for opioid drugs not only to the teacher's name, but also to his relatives and other people. They included random students with whom the teacher had contact at work.

Investigators estimate that several hundred prescriptions were issued in this way, on the basis of which nearly 900 packages of opioid drugs were issued.

The collected material indicates that the obtained drugs were then divided into individual blisters or pieces. This type of behavior may indicate that the funds were not intended solely for personal use, police say.

Did the medicines reach the students?

One of the most important threads of the investigation is to determine whether the drugs could have reached the school environment, including students. The police do not rule out this possibility, but emphasize that the case is still under investigation. All collected materials are being analyzed to determine the full scale of the operation and identify all people who may have been involved.

In the investigators' opinion, it is important that the suspect worked as a teacher and could use his position and access to students' data.

More arrests

During the same operation, the police also detained a 21-year-old woman who was allegedly involved in the operation. She was placed under police supervision, and the 44-year-old was temporarily arrested.
