If I understand correctly, Polish law allows for prosecution of defendants who commit crimes against Poles outside of Poland. Looks like the Polish government is holding the Italian govt’s feet against the fire.
One other thing, and this may get me in hot water but I’ll bring it up anyway. Per Polish language media, the crime took place at about 4 AM, which explains why nobody else saw it. The couple went for a walk on the beach and had stopped to sit on some loungers when they were attacked. Why the heck aren’t governments warning their citizens to avoid being out in the middle of the night like this? And if various departments of state won’t, how about good old common sense. Tourists should not put themselves in harm’s way, especially since the host government clearly doesn’t give a damn about their safety.
Somehow 4 AM is not *evening* in my book.
They should be able to do that without free of being attacked and about killed.
I hope the Polish government sticks to its guns.
