“This person had a fascination with serial killers.” New information about the perpetrator of the attack in Krakow

During the press conference, the Minister of Justice announced that one of the threads analyzed by the services is the connection of the perpetrator with the far right.

The services are examining the perpetrator's computer and mobile phones. There has already been reliable information that the attacker, before committing the attack a few months earlier, had been watching websites related to the famous mass murder committed by Anders Breivik. That is why we are investigating the issue of far-right extremism, said Waldemar Żurek.

As part of the investigation activities, the places where the attacker was staying, including his workplace, were also secured. The services carefully checked his locker, where they found inscriptions and inscriptions with an unclear meaning.

The places where the attacker stayed, his place of work, and his locker at work, which contains various inscriptions and inscriptions that are decoded by the secret services, were also secured, said the Minister of Justice.

These symbols and inscriptions are currently being analyzed. Investigators are trying to determine whether they are related to a specific ideology or may indicate the perpetrator's motivation. Minister Żurek noted that "there are definitely elements of right-wing ideology there."

A flag depicting a rattlesnake on a yellow background was also found in the perpetrator's belongings. This symbol, known as the Gadsden flag, is used by some far-right circles in the United States.

The bomber had a flag, which is a symbol for some extreme, far-right circles in the United States. We are talking about a rattlesnake on a yellow background because this flag appears in different places, at different times, it is used, but if we connect it, then (it is) one of the threads or hypotheses as to the reasons behind the planning and execution of this attack - explained Żurek.

Investigators do not rule out that the presence of this symbol may indicate ideological inspiration or an attempt by the perpetrator to imitate foreign models.

The minister informed that the prosecutor's office is carrying out extensive activities aimed at investigating the environment in which Michał Oksiński operated. Investigators are looking not only at his professional contacts, but also at his family relationships. The aim of these activities is to determine whether social or personal factors could have influenced his life and preparations for the attack.

Minister Żurek emphasized that "it is often the case with people who commit this type of crimes that there are many factors that come together." Let us remember that some of these serial killers supplemented their criminal acts or presented a certain political ideology - he added.

A silencer was found in the car, which could explain the murder of relatives in Ostrowiec, because as we know, the neighbors did not hear anything - noted the minister.

Another important aspect of the investigation is the attacker's equipment. According to Waldemar Żurek, "very professional equipment" and "a huge amount of ammunition, several magazines" were found with the perpetrator. The minister pointed out that even people participating in tactical shooting training do not need such a large number of magazines. Here it was clear that perhaps it had been planned well in advance, he emphasized.

Investigators do not rule out that Michał Oksiński could have been inspired by the actions of serial killers and tried to imitate crimes committed in the past.

Another hypothesis is that this person was fascinated by serial killers and that this attacker tried to imitate certain dramatic, tragic events that took place in Europe or around the world, said the minister.
