Brief description:
On July 22, 2016, vulgar messages were received at the e-mail addresses of the chairman and secretary of the Society:
"And what's the reason that you asshole write to me in German, if you want to, then fuck off to your compatriots and this is Poland, if you don't like it, then take your szkope brood and get out you asshole" and
"Do you feel threatened in Poland, where a Szkop tells me that he hates the Poles who work for him and that he would shoot them? Where are Poles forced to speak German in German companies?!? You son of a bitch, German robber, you szkop, you brood bandit murderer of Poland, piss off in the empire where you belong, you asshole!!"
SKGD reported the suspicion to the District Attorney's Office, but they refused to initiate proceedings because they believed the crime did not constitute a crime.
