He clarified that the driver of the minibus that hit a minor Ukrainian in Warsaw on January 3 was charged with committing a fatal accident and fleeing the scene of an accident, which provides for a prison sentence of five to 20 years. He is also charged with driving despite a three-year ban until April 2026 for previous offenses. This carries a prison term of three months to five years.
