A breakthrough in the investigation into the explosion of a grenade launcher at the police station. Key materials from Ukraine

The investigation, which had been suspended for almost two years, was resumed after receiving documents from Ukraine requested by the Regional Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw. The request for legal assistance was not fully implemented, but the materials that arrived made it possible to decide to resume the investigation and submit an application to extend it for the next months - an RMF FM reporter heard from one of the prosecutors.

Two scenarios are considered

Investigators do not reveal what exactly the materials were provided by the Ukrainians. It is known, however, that as part of applications for legal assistance, the Polish prosecutor's office submitted, among others, to question people who may have knowledge about the circumstances of giving the police delegation gifts in the form of converted grenade launchers.

Two scenarios are being considered in the investigation: a mistake and a sabotage, i.e. intentional substitution of grenade launchers. If it happened, it is necessary to determine who wanted it and for what purpose.

It is worth recalling that in separate proceedings, former Chief Police Commander Jarosław Szymczyk was charged with illegal possession of weapons and unintentionally causing danger to the life and health of many people. Gen. Jarosław Szymczyk agreed to give his name.

Explosion in the office of the Chief of Police. "The explosion was powerful"

The explosion of a grenade launcher at the Police Headquarters occurred in December 2022. Three days after the incident, RMF FM reporters were the first to talk to the then commander, who had just left the hospital. When I was moving used grenade launchers, which were gifts from the Ukrainians, an explosion occurred, the general told us at the time.

The explosion occurred in the back of the office - rooms on three floors of the building were damaged.

As RMF FM journalists found out at the time, the general received two anti-tank grenade launchers in Ukraine, probably of the RGW-90 type. The Ukrainians were to ensure that the weapons were used.

Szymczyk said that the day after returning from Ukraine, he decided to put the gifts he received in the back of his office. At one point he placed one of the grenade launchers vertically on the floor and an explosion occurred.
