The estate was taken over by a gangster, the farmer is dead. Investigators close the case

The District Prosecutor's Office in Puck discontinued the investigation after the death of a farmer from Gdynia – 77-year-old Stanisław W., whose estate worth PLN 8 million was taken over by a former gangster. The decision is not final.

Mariusz Duszyński, spokesman for the District Prosecutor's Office in Gdańsk, told PAP that the proceedings conducted by the District Prosecutor's Office in Puck after the death of Stanisław W. were ended on December 29, 2025, with the issuance of a decision to discontinue the investigation due to the finding that the act did not contain the elements of a prohibited act.

– The decision to discontinue is not final – added prosecutor Duszyński.

Stanisław W.'s body was found by a relative on the morning of January 31, 2025, in a house in Kosakowo near Gdynia. The elderly man had head injuries and a stab wound to the back of the head. The room where the body was found was a mess.

In the background of the farmer's death, there is a dispute over attractive plots of land – 7 hectares of land in Kosakowo and Kazimierz near Gdynia worth at least PLN 8 million, which in unclear circumstances were taken over by his nephew – Gdynia gangster Rajmund W. alias Mundek.

After the farmer's death, proceedings were initiated in the prosecutor's office in Puck as a case of murder, but investigators stipulated that the legal classification of the act may change. Doubts in the case were also cast by the opinion of medical experts, who did not rule out the man's injuries and death as a result of an accident or the involvement of third parties. In their opinion, both versions were equally likely. Ultimately, however, the prosecutor's office decided to discontinue the proceedings.

The current land and mortgage register kept for Stanisław W.'s farm shows that the owner of all his property was the wife of “Mundek” – the legally convicted gang leader from Gdynia – Agnieszka W.

All these land and mortgage registers still contain warnings about granting security by prohibiting Agnieszka W. (Rajmund W.'s wife) from selling, encumbering and leasing these properties to third parties for the duration of the above-mentioned court proceedings.

The woman was again entered as the owner in the land and mortgage register as a result of the judgment of the Supreme Court of February 2024. The basis for the entry of her ownership rights was the donation agreement from 2011, the validity of which will again be assessed by the Court of Appeal in Gdańsk.

The case regarding 7 hectares of land by the sea in Kosakowo and Kazimierz near Gdynia began 15 years ago. Stanisław W. had 40 thousand. PLN of debt owed to a friend, then his nephew Rajmund W. came to him. – He scared me so effectively that I agreed to transfer one plot of land to pay off the debt – Stanisław W. told a PAP journalist in 2020.

In 2011, notarial deeds related to the takeover of property in Kosakowo and Kazimierz were prepared by notary public Hanna W. However, they did not concern one plot, but all of his lands – 7 hectares by the sea.

Stanisław W., as he claimed, did not know for several years that apart from one plot worth approximately PLN 200,000. PLN, he bequeathed all his property to his nephew. He was also unaware that Rajmund W. was a car thief well known to the police.

In 2017 – after many years of trial – the criminal was legally sentenced by the Court of Appeal in Gdańsk to 8 years in prison for leading an organized criminal group, stealing luxury cars, smuggling a kilogram of cocaine and extorting PLN 30,000. PLN loan.

In 2014, the farmer filed a lawsuit to invalidate notarial deeds. In 2017, the Court of Appeal in Gdańsk issued an injunction to secure the lawsuit and “Mundek” and his wife could not dispose of the plots.

In October 2020, the Court of Appeal in Gdańsk validly invalidated the notarial agreements concluded in 2011, in which the farmer sold his property against his will.

In the overturned judgment, the judges of the Supreme Court in Gdańsk did not focus on the attempted fraud, but raised the invalidity of the notarial deeds because “Mundek” had separate property rights with his wife and they could not jointly take over the plots in Kosakowo and Kazimierz.

These arguments were not shared by the Supreme Court in its February 2024 verdict. After considering the cassation appeal of Rajmund W. and Agnieszka W., the Supreme Court overturned the contested judgment and referred the case to the Court of Appeal in Gdańsk for reconsideration. (PAP)
