Patryk M. was detained on September 12 at the airport in Hamburg, from where – as the police reported at the time – he was planning to go to the United Arab Emirates. On November 6, the German side handed it over to Poland. Last week, Patryk M. alias Wielki Bu was handed over to the Polish side by the German authorities on the basis of a European arrest warrant. The man was placed in the Remand Center in Szczecin.

The prosecutor's office previously reported that the charges that Patryk M. is to hear include, among others: participation in an organized criminal group operating from July 2017 to 2018 in Poland, the Netherlands and Spain, aimed at producing, importing, purchasing and marketing significant amounts of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, including: cocaine, amphetamine, hashish and mephedrone. In addition, there is also a charge of burglary of a car and altering the identification markings on the vehicle.

Big Bu is known, among others, from participating in freak-fight MMA galas. In May 2024, controversy arose over a photo he took in the National Education Office of the Institute of National Remembrance with the then president of the Institute of National Remembrance, Karol Nawrocki, and published it on social media with the caption: “It was hard not to accept the invitation, so since I was in the capital anyway, I dropped by to see how Karol is doing in this institution”. Later, he also published a photo with Nawrocki at a cafe table with the caption: “Such as with the president of the Institute of National Remembrance having a coffee. It's always good to listen to a wise man.”

During the presidential campaign, the media and some politicians criticized Nawrocki for contacts with Wielki Bu as a “member of a gang of pimps”. Nawrocki, whose passion is boxing, told “Rzeczpospolita” in the fall of 2024 that he met him several years ago at a boxing gym, they fought “with each other in a sports formula: officially, in the boxing gym, among many other players”, and then they did not see each other for many years. He added that he would not comment on “criminal issues” and that he had no idea about them. In turn, in an entry on the X platform, Nawrocki wrote, among other things, that “he appreciates his opponents in the ring for fighting, but he is not responsible for their lives outside sports.” (PAP)
