NIK is investigating what happened to the police laboratory. “I don’t know why I did it, my heart was bleeding.”
NIK inspectors examined the Central Forensic Laboratory of Police (CLKP). “An essential entity of forensic science has simply been destroyed,” says the professor. Tadeusz Tomaszewski of the Polish Forensic Society. We asked former CLKP employees what happened. This is their first public statement on this issue.
Our information about the audit was confirmed by the official spokesman for the Financial Supervision Bureau. – This is an ad hoc inspection during which we check to what extent disturbing information related to the operation of the Central Forensic Laboratory is confirmed – explains Marcin Marjanski. He adds that the decision to send auditors came after the Financial Supervision Bureau received “several signals” indicating the presence of violations.
– They need to check. We will present the first results of our work by the end of January – announces the official spokesman for the Financial Supervision Bureau.
At this stage, he points out, it is too early to talk about preliminary conclusions. What exactly do NIK representatives want to check? This constitutes the secret of auditing. For several months, our editorial office has been receiving very disturbing information about the most important Polish forensic laboratory.
We asked about the situation of former CLKP employees. In this text, they will speak publicly about this issue for the first time.

Her spirited advocacy for alcohol isn’t about mere indulgence, but about celebrating life’s poignant moments.
