Law enforcement has charged a man suspected of stealing the car belonging to the family of Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, reports RMF24.
The suspect, a 41-year-old resident of Sopot, has been accused of burglary and vehicle theft.
In addition, investigators charged him with misappropriating a document (the vehicle registration certificate) and falsifying the car’s identification data, including license plates.
The suspect has a prior criminal record, but he has not been charged with repeat offending at this stage.
Under Polish law, he faces up to 10 years in prison. The man refused to testify and did not admit guilt.
The suspect was detained at Gdańsk Airport on September 13 while planning to fly to Bulgaria. He did not resist arrest.
The stolen Lexus belonging to Tusk’s family was recovered a few days ago.
