The carrier is conducting an inspection
PKP Intercity said it had launched an inspection into the circumstances of the incident, secured surveillance camera recordings and reviewed them. According to the carrier’s preliminary assessment, the video does not confirm claims that the director violated the train manager’s bodily integrity.
The company noted that it would not determine the responsibility of individual persons until the inspection is completed. According to Forsal, the director explained his actions by saying that an “unauthorized person” was in the driver’s cab; the outlet established that it was a train attendant who had brought the train manager a drink.
A request demanding an explanation of the circumstances of the incident was filed by the NSZZ “Solidarity” trade union of PKP Intercity in Gdynia. MP Michał Moskal, temporarily suspended from membership in the Law and Justice party, also announced his intention to intervene in the case.
