World's 'most wanted man' (a Pole) found working at British Subway restaurant

considering, that one can buy Polish ID card on allegro.pl ("for collectors only"), and also the fact that British beaurocracy is, to put it mildly, not always competent, then I am not surprised that he was working there.

and even if his colleagues knew the truth about him (or even a part of it), than a fear of being labelled as "konfindent" could've stopped them from reporting it to the police.

@Crow: please, tell me how was his situation a provocation from the government? I'm dying to hear your reasons.

Biggest bs I have ever seen on this forum. You are saying that Poles don't respect law and have no sense of righteousness. Stupidity of this statement is overwhelming.

Basically yes. People in general don't grass up colleagues, certainly don't run their names by Interpol and Poles don't tend to dob in their own unless there's an immediate cash reward or some other personal advantage.

Looks like the extradition has gone through:

Good that the guy will be dealt with but come on, he was not the "world's most wanted man"!!! The terrorists who attacked Paris and Bruxelles were and still are since some still at large (today a 23-year old Swedish national was arrested in connection to Bruxelles attack)..

That must have been some Svend :-)))

If this dude is guy was truly the world's most wanted man than wow would the world be a peaceful place. A soccer hooligan working at subway? Please... the guys in K-town in Chicago commit more crimes by lunchtime than this guy has in his whole life.

He killed someone in Poland apparently then fled to the UK. That's why the Polish authorities were looking so hard for him.

It's also a lot to do with the European Arrest warrant. The Polish police aren't much good at what they do, so it's great for a prosecutor to file some papers and have others do it for them.

Polish cops are totally lazy. The only reason why they might have turned up the heat is because of all the bad press Poland has been getting lately. The way that Trump said 'Mexico's not sending their best' well I'm sure many people in the UK think that way of Poland or Romania.

Most of the career criminals have left Poland, many for the UK especially if they're facing charges. This really doesn't surprise me. Some of the Polish guys that would commit robberies or fraud here would go to Poland but that was before Poland was in the EU and began extraditing people back to the US. At least in Wroclaw, it's mostly the younger generation running the drugs and a maybe handful of older guys who are being released due to 90's and early 2000s murder convictions. The soccer hooligans aren't real criminals - maybe enforcers that are a bit too passionate at best.

for sure, the guy killed (one person) but there is much bigger fish at large!

This much is true. They're better than they were (most of the functionally illiterate ones have been kicked out) but there are still competence issues.



The guy in question isn't really the 'world's most wanted man' but some of those highest on the list of Europe's most wanted are career criminals in Poland who have moved to the UK and faded into the shadows.

They only move their butts if some politician really gets on their case or the media starts talking trash about them. Then suddenly the next day TVP is showing guys in masks breaking into some guys apartment and showing off a shoebox full of amphetamines they confiscated...

I don't know why they bothered to leave to the UK unless there was that much heat on them in Poland... murder in Poland I believe is only 8-25 years in prison with most doing around 8-10 if they were only convicted of one count. I would've asked to defect to Iran or something personally... but that's just me.

On this we agree!

Police everywhere are very good at covering up mistakes and coming to their own defence. Poland is just the same.


Too much competition at home and a chance for pickings elsewhere. Plus a chance to evade justice, at least for a while.


Vietnam (and I think Japan, Sudan and Israel) apparently doesn't have extradition treaties (the list of countries who don't is getting much smaller by the year) but just as water finds its own level, London is much more achievable, epecially for a Polish speaker. Relatively easy to disappear there too.

Last I remember he claimed being Belgian and you know: It's OK to be... The other is Harry
