Foreign Nationals' Role in Organized Crime Surges in Poland

Poland recorded 265 foreign nationals suspected of involvement in organized crime during the monitored period, representing a 44 percent increase compared to the previous year. The most significant growth came from suspects originating from Belarus and Armenia, according to official data. The sharp rise highlights growing concerns about international criminal networks operating within Polish territory as the country continues to serve as a transit point and destination for various forms of organized criminal activity.
