Gangs Wage War for Warsaw


“Warsaw could face a gang war,” according to police officers from the Central Investigation Office (CBŚ). The first conflict between two rival groups has already taken place. Yesterday, police revealed the details of a Saturday shootout in Marki, near Warsaw. 20 gangsters took part in an exchange of fire, one of the participants, Tomasz W. nicknamed “Króciak”, is dead “He died before his partners managed to drive him to the hospital. We know that they promised revenge,” says an officer of the Warsaw CBŚ. In all probability, the gangster was a member of the “Marki” gang which is lead by “Salaput” (nickname). The fatal shot was inflicted by one of the members of the “Mokotów” gang led by “Belmondziak”. Both gangs are engaged in drug trafficking, robbery and bribery. “There will be more victims in this war unless we catch them,” say officers. In the 1990s, Warsaw became an arena for the bloody struggles between “Pruszków” and “Wołomin”. Gangsters were shooting to each other on the streets with their victims often passers-by. The leaders of both gangs will soon be leaving prison after serving their sentences and this fact could aggravate conflicts in the criminal underworld. “Gangsters are also feeling the impact of the economic crisis. They have to compete harder with one another, this explains the shootouts. However, we are stronger than we were 10 years ago and we will to thwart their plans,” says a CBŚ spokesman.
