Biography

Jarosław Ziętara was a journalist of Gazeta Poznańska (he worked previously in Wprost and Gazeta Wyborcza), where he dealt with the investigative journalism examining economic scandals.

Disappearance and investigation

On 1 September 1992 he disappeared without a trace on his way to work.[1][2] According to the findings of the prosecutor from 1998, Ziętara was kidnapped and murdered.[3] The investigation into the Ziętara case had been, however, terminated in 1999, because his body was not found. The investigation led by the police, as well as the prosecutor, has been criticized repeatedly.[4][5]

Aftermath

The case of the kidnapping and murder of Jarosław Ziętara is the only such case in the history of Poland after the fall of communism in 1989.[1]
