The article centers on the case of Mr. Jerzy, an elderly man, his caretaker Anna Kanigowska, and Karol Nawrocki, a Polish politician. Nawrocki acquired Mr. Jerzy's apartment in 2017, allegedly in exchange for care.
Kanigowska, who cared for Mr. Jerzy from spring 2022 to spring 2023, details his dire living conditions. Mr. Jerzy lived in poverty, relying on state assistance for food and basic necessities. Kanigowska frequently supplemented this aid with her own funds.
Nawrocki denies the allegations, claiming he provided care and has evidence to support this. He claims contact was lost with Mr. Jerzy in December 2024.
Kanigowska directly refutes Nawrocki's claims, stating he provided no care. She notes that Mr. Jerzy lived in belief that the apartment was still his. The discrepancy between Nawrocki's claim of care and the reality of Mr. Jerzy's impoverished state, coupled with the lack of contact, forms the basis of accusations of fraud.
The article highlights a serious ethical and legal matter involving the alleged misuse of an elderly person's trust and property, raising questions about accountability and transparency.
