Biejat has accused Nawrocki of exploiting an elderly man, writing on social media: “Mr. Jerzy was deceived, and the perpetrator must face consequences. Politicians are meant to fix abuses in the housing market, not profit from them.”

Nawrocki says he legally acquired a small apartment from Jerzy Ż., an elderly man, in 2017, claiming he paid for both the property and the man’s overdue rent. He also says he provided financial support and helped with pharmacy expenses.

Składam zawiadomienie o możliwości popełnienia przestępstwa przez Karola Nawrockiego. Pan Jerzy został oszukany, a sprawca musi ponieść konsekwencje. Politycy są od rozwiązywania patologii na rynku mieszkaniowym, a nie tego, żeby się na nich dorabiać.
