Polish prosecutors seek to drop case against South Asian men who slaughtered goat in kebab bar
The Bangladeshi and Indian men said they did not know the practice was prohibited in Poland.
Polish prosecutors have requested a court to terminate proceedings against three South Asian men accused of slaughtering a goat in a kebab bar without legal authorization. Prosecutors argue the offense lacked significant social harm and the act was commonplace in the men's native countries. The trio, comprising two Bangladeshi nationals and an Indian, were all legally residing in Poland.
The incident was reported in December 2025 after witnesses observed the group taking a goat to the back of a kebab bar, which was under renovation at the time. The men claimed the meat would be consumed by them personally. Prosecutors' spokesperson, Mariusz Pindera, emphasized the men's lack of awareness of Polish law but stressed that they should still comply with regulations.
The case's social impact is deemed minimal, prompting prosecutors to seek an expedited court decision.
