According to the press secretary, “after the completion of the procedural actions,” the mayor was taken to the National Prosecutor’s Office in Katowice.

Let us add that Sutryk has been ruling Wroclaw since 2018, and was re-elected as mayor this spring.

By the way, Collegium Humanum was opened in 2018. This educational institution offers, among other things, a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree.

This degree is required in Western countries for high-level positions in the public administration sector as well as in corporations.

In March last year, several university employees were arrested for accepting bribes and selling diplomas.

According to the press, many Polish officials and military personnel received diplomas from Collegium Humanum.

The mayor of Wroclaw also received an MBA degree from this educational institution – four years ago.
