A major scandal sweeps the Polish MMA scene. Last week, Andrzej Koscielski, one of the most famous coaches, was detained and arrested in his home in Poznań, who is suspected of a murder 22 years ago. Koscielski is the founder of the renowned Polish gym Ankos MMA and is among the most respected MMA experts in all of Europe.
Several well-known Slovak and Czech fighters, such as Ronald Paradeiser, Karlos Vémola, Michal Martínek, as well as the star Uzbek Machmud Muradov, train under his leadership in Ankos.
Andrzej Koscielski allegedly took part in the brutal murder of 26-year-old Armén Rafael G. in November 2002. The incident took place in the Blue Note club in Poznań.
The fifty-five-year-old MMA coach was arrested on Monday, October 14, at his home. The police even had to use stun grenades during the intervention. If found guilty, he faces a life sentence.
Kryminalna Polska journalists obtained a recording of the arrest of the well-known MMA trainer from Poznań, Andrzej K. alias. Church. A surveillance camera recorded the moment a police grenade exploded next to the man, injuring him.

This case began to be investigated after 22 years, because a member of the Polish underworld, known by the nickname Monštrum, began to testify. Thanks to that, the police were then able to arrest Koscielsky.
