Detective Rutkowski regains license after 17-year suspension

Krzysztof Rutkowski, the country’s most recognizable private investigator, has had his license reinstated nearly two decades after it was revoked. The return of his credentials comes amidst claims that the police attempted to cover up a past case.

The government has filled two major vacancies by naming new presidents to lead Port Polska and the Central Communication Port (CPK), the planned air hub outside Warsaw. Separately, prosecutors are examining a vote-counting error that reportedly saw ballots meant for Karol Nawrocki credited to his rival, Rafał Trzaskowski.

Internal shifts within the opposition Law and Justice party are being signaled as former prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki publicly criticized party leader Jarosław Kaczyński over the concept of Polexit. Elsewhere, the security services have arrested a Russian national caught acting for a foreign intelligence agency, while the first S-1 bomb shelter has begun construction to prepare for less metaphorical threats.
