The man from Gdańsk, who has been missing for 14 years, lived outside the country for a long time. He made the decision to return during the holiday season.

After years of living in the shadows, he decided he was fed up with hiding and decided to face the consequences of his past choices.

This incident sheds light on the psychological aspects of life on the run and the complicated emotions that can accompany those wanted by the law.
