Seven arrested in connection to British tourist’s death in Krakow strip club

…Researched and contributed by Henry George.

British tourist Mark Cocks, 36, died of alcohol poisoning in 2017 in Krakow, Poland after being forced to drink 22 shots of spirits in an hour and a half at the notorious Wild Night club.

Seven people have since been arrested for allegedly being part of an organized crime gang responsible for several other deaths of foreigners who were drugged and robbed at the club.

The victim’s sister, Samantha, is demanding justice to be served as nobody has been held accountable for her brother’s death.

The club had a notorious reputation for its ill-treatment of patrons, and the family of Cocks had repeatedly warned others not to go there.

After his death, the club was closed down.

The seven people arrested in connection to Cocks’ death are thought to be members of the same organised crime gang, which is believed to be behind the other deaths of foreigners.

The strip club had become infamous for drugging and robbing customers, leading to widespread complaints from ripped-off patrons.

The club, along with 20 others nationwide, was raided last year by the police following a crackdown on the activities of the clubs.

The victim’s sister, Samantha, posted a comment on the club’s review page, stating that her brother’s death needed to be made aware of.

Others have posted their horror stories on TripAdviser, warning people to stay away from the club.

User Frantz, for instance, reported that he and his friends were pepper-sprayed by security and beaten badly, while the women in the club tried to rob them of their money.

Another user, Lars, claimed he and his brother were spiked at the club, and when his brother refused to drink any more, he was kicked out of the club, and his credit card was stripped of almost £1,000.

The death of Mark Cocks and several other foreigners at the Wild Night club have brought to light the activities of an organized crime gang that allegedly drugged and robbed customers at the strip club.

The arrests made by the police following widespread complaints from ripped-off patrons will hopefully bring some closure to the victims’ families.
