Former agriculture deputy faces accusations of abuse, drug coercion and violence

Two women who previously worked for former agriculture deputy minister Michał Kołodziejczak detailed a series of abusive behaviors in a broadcast interview. They reported that Kołodziejczak frequently erupted in anger, used insults, issued threats and physically assaulted them, including throwing a metal can and brandishing a knife. One of the women claimed he coerced her into ingesting a drug, after which she suffered intense physical distress, vomiting and believing she was dying.

The other described ongoing humiliation, being labeled a "slave" and threatened with termination, as well as being called vulgar slurs and receiving early-morning phone calls. The allegations also mentioned a personal relationship that turned hostile. Legal proceedings concluded with Kołodziejczak receiving a monetary penalty.
