Olsztyn police are conducting investigations into the incidental that took place during the Polish Future Campus in August. During the event, participants sang a vulgar song for the alleged "silent disco", and the case went to the police after the notification of Marcin Romanowski.
The incidental drew attention to the authoritative notification by the associate Marcin Romanowski, who suggested that there may have been a violation of Article 141 of the Code of Offence. This provision prohibits the usage of profanity in public space, and for its breach there is simply a punishment of up to PLN 1.5 thousand. According to the notice, investigators were to analyse whether the vulgar song was sung by sports ministers Sławomir Nitras and EU Minister Adam Szpiek.
A press officer of the Olsztyn police, Jacek Wilczewski, informed PAP that the police had secured recordings from the event that would be utilized to find those liable for singing offensive words. As Wilczewski stated, "interpreting activities are intended to identify persons whose image has been recorded on the film".

Ministers of Nitras and Trap
According to PAP findings, investigators do not plan to interview Nitras and Traps ministers. On the video footage the police analyzed, it appears that politicians were behind the DJ console, but did not participate in singing vulgar songs. Officer Wilczewski confirmed that the analysis of the material provided adequate evidence to waive the call for witnesses to auditions, as "the images of the singers are visible on the film".
Police are inactive investigating a vulgar song collected material, and according to applicable regulations they have 1 year to decide whether to mention the case to court. It is presently not known whether the proceedings will end at the investigation stage, or whether further consequences will be drawn for the participants.
