In recent months, Poland has seen a significant rise in criminal activities linked to Georgian gangs. Police are reporting an increasing number of thefts, robberies, and other crimes involving Georgian nationals.
According to data from the Warsaw Metropolitan Police, in 2024, foreigners committed 3,129 crimes in the Polish capital, with 532 cases involving Georgian citizens. Currently, 322 Georgian nationals are incarcerated in Polish prisons, though this number fluctuates as new arrests occur daily.
Georgian gangs are becoming bolder, carrying out audacious robberies across Poland. In central Warsaw, a Georgian criminal group executed a heist in which they stole diamonds worth 110,000 euros from a Belgian jewelry company. This was the most significant robbery by Georgian thieves recorded so far.
Experts highlight that the increase in crime among migrants is not coincidental. Poland is actively working to counter this trend through intensified controls and deportations. Most foreign nationals who break the law or reside illegally in the country are expelled, particularly from major cities like Warsaw.
Representatives of the Georgian diaspora in Poland express concern about the situation, emphasizing that the criminal activities of a small group cast a shadow over the entire Georgian community in the country. They stress that the vast majority of Georgians in Poland work hard and integrate well into society.
Polish law enforcement agencies are stepping up efforts to combat organized crime linked to Georgian nationals, aiming to ensure public safety and maintain order.
