Waldemar Żurek claimed there was “certain evidence.”
Poland’s Prosecutor General and Minister of Justice Waldemar Żurek stated that it is still too early to discuss the motives of the attacker in Krakow, but the investigation already has “certain evidence” that sheds light on these events. This was reported by Polsat News.
According to Żurek, the investigation is ongoing, and he does not wish to disclose details about the perpetrator or his motives. “Whether these motives were truly related to some family problems, or whether the reason was entirely different, we do not know, but we cannot rule out precisely those motives that lay at the root of such dramatic events. I do not wish to disclose details of the investigation, but we have certain evidence that sheds deeper light on this entire tragedy,” he said.
The minister added that law enforcement officials are thoroughly examining the items found on the shooter and everything that was in his home. “It seems to me that we can say with a very high degree of certainty that he acted alone,” noted Żurek.
He emphasized that “lone wolves” who commit such crimes are “often mentally unstable individuals,” and that it is very difficult to prevent such acts. The minister declined to comment on the attacker’s radical views.
Zurek confirmed that investigators classified the incident as a “terrorist act,” and that this was the “only possible” classification under the Criminal Code. According to him, “terrorists have different motives”: they may be people with mental disorders who are prone to various ideologies.
“But sometimes they are also individuals whose crimes are triggered by some tragedy in their immediate circle. In this case, we’re also talking about the murders of three close relatives. This indicates that this criminal was facing some enormous problems at a certain point in his life,” noted the Minister of Justice.
