During his recent visit to Warsaw, Sweden’s Minister of Justice, Gunnar Stroemmer, commended Poland for its remarkable strides in combating organized crime, as reported by the Swedish press agency TT. It highlights Poland’s success under the Law and Justice Party (PiS), noting that it has outpaced Sweden by several decades in this area.
Reflecting on Poland’s transformation, Stroemmer acknowledged its turnaround from one of Europe’s most dangerous countries in the 1990s to one of the safest today. He attributed Poland’s success to its innovative strategies, including the use of offensive tools such as anonymous witnesses and the State’s evidence to dismantle criminal networks effectively.
Stroemmer’s recognition of Poland’s achievements signals Sweden’s interest in adopting similar legal mechanisms. Poland’s experience underscores the importance of proactive measures and collaboration in addressing societal challenges, offering valuable insights for other nations grappling with organized crime and inspiring the pursuit of safer and more resilient communities worldwide.
