The article centers on the situation of 80-year-old Mr. Jerzy, who requires 24/7 specialized care. In 2017, he transferred his apartment to Karol Nawrocki and his wife in exchange for care. However, Mr. Jerzy is currently residing in a state-funded nursing home, with the city of Gdańsk covering the costs.
Nawrocki claims he has been unable to locate Mr. Jerzy since December. He states that all legal and property matters related to the apartment were clarified during a months-long investigation by the ABW. Nawrocki also insists he continues to pay the costs associated with the apartment.
Neighbors report not having seen Mr. Jerzy for at least six months. Nawrocki's response to questions about his failure to contact Mr. Jerzy since December involved his current residence in Warsaw, which prevents frequent visits to his family in Gdańsk.
The city of Gdańsk, through its spokesperson Daniel Stenzel, confirms that Mr. Jerzy has received professional care since 2018, with the city and Mr. Jerzy himself covering the costs, estimated at approximately 92,000 PLN annually. The city initiated court proceedings in February 2024 to place Mr. Jerzy in a nursing home, a decision approved by the court in April 2024.
The article raises questions about the extent of Nawrocki's involvement and the transparency of his financial affairs. Nawrocki's response regarding his failure to publicly release his financial statement cited internal IPN procedures.
