"Strong Traces of Right-Wing Extremism" in Activity of Kraków Terrorist, Says Justice Minister
Investigators say his search history and a Gadsden flag point to far-right views, while prosecutors continue to examine possible mental illness.
- Poland's justice minister, Waldemar Żurek, said Tuesday that investigators found "very strong traces of right-wing extremism" in the activity of Michał Oksiński, who carried out Saturday's shooting in Kraków that left six people dead.
- Evidence from the perpetrator's computer includes search history related to Norwegian far-right terrorist Anders Breivik, who killed 77 people during two attacks in 2011. Prosecutors also reported finding a "Don't tread on me" flag at Oksiński's home.
- Digital affairs minister Krzysztof Gawkowski told Polsat News on Monday that an "enormous wave of disinformation" followed the tragedy, including an AI-generated image depicting interior minister Marcin Kierwiński shaking hands with Oksiński.
- Interior ministry spokeswoman Karolina Gąbecka announced Monday that prosecutors would be notified about the AI image, which spread via social media accounts associated with right-wing broadcaster Republika. Kierwiński faces opposition pressure to provide evidence for his claims.
- Investigators are also considering "mental disorders" as a potential factor in the attack. Kierwiński clarified Sunday that his previous statements linking Oksiński to far-right ideologies were simply sharing "first hypotheses" rather than confirmed findings.
