A priest alleged to have abused boys in the Dominican Republic will be charged in Warsaw on Tuesday.
Przemyslaw Nowak, spokesman for the District Prosecutor’s Office in Warsaw, has confirmed that “several charges” will be brought against Father Wojciech G. (full name withheld under Polish privacy laws), following the priest’s detainment on Monday near Krakow.
Nowak also revealed that the house in which Father Wojciech G. had been residing in recent months has been searched.
However, Nowak said that he was not at liberty to discuss the details.
Although authorities in the Dominican Republic have already formally charged the priest, Poland has no extradition treaty with the Caribbean country at present, and it is expected that the priest will be tried in Poland.
