The Plot

Yo, straight out of a movie script but happening right here in Poznań, we’ve got a plot wilder than any Netflix crime thriller. Picture this: it’s February 2021. Bartosz F. is just living his life, chillin’ outside his house, when suddenly boom! A group of guys dressed as cops rolls up, grabs him, and drags him off to the woods. But this wasn’t your average mugging—this was about millions.

The Torture

These fake cops weren’t playing around. For three hours, they beat and tortured Bartosz, demanding he spill the tea on where his buddy, lawyer Michał D., had stashed a cool PLN 5 million. Fun fact? The lawyer himself was sitting in jail during all this. But Bartosz eventually cracked, revealing the cash was hidden at Michał’s parents’ property.

The gang left Bartosz beaten in the forest, snatched the cash-filled suitcase, and vanished like ghost riders. Bartosz somehow crawled his way to a local store and called for help, turning this whole saga into a story nobody could believe.

A Year Later

Fast forward to January 2022—almost a year later—and the cops (the real ones this time) got involved. Ten suspects, most from Poznań, were nabbed, and now they’re facing charges that sound like a crime boss starter pack: organized criminal activity, hostage-taking, robbery, and even inciting murder. If convicted, they’re looking at serious jail time.

The Kicker

Here’s the kicker—we still don’t know where the money originally came from or why the lawyer was locked up to begin with. Dirty cash? A double-cross? The courtroom drama started this week, and it’s bound to be juicier than anything on primetime TV. So, what do you think is the story behind this, Poznań? Keep it locked—we’ll update you as this real-life thriller unfolds.
