Dariusz Iskra, former starosta of Lidzbark Warmiński, resigned after being stopped by police with a blood alcohol level of 0.48 mg/l. He expressed gratitude to the community and apologized for the incident. A court conditionally suspended his criminal proceedings for two years, imposing a one-year driving ban. The prosecution appealed, arguing that his actions were socially harmful and endangered others. They seek a fine, a three-year driving ban, court costs, and compensation to a victims' fund.
