Tourist dies after 22 shots in strip club and is robbed by staff

A tourist has died after being given 22 shots in only 90 minutes in a Polish strip club, before being robbed by staff.

A British man died of alcohol poisoning after being given 22 consecutive shots on a visit to a Polish strip club in only 90 minutes, it was reported.

The 36-year-old victim was already drunk when he arrived with a friend at the Wild Night club in Krakow, police have said.

He tried to refuse drinks, and investigators have now said he was plied with nearly two dozen powerful shots before he collapsed and later died, The Sun reports.

Poland’s National Prosecutor’s Office says that he had a lethal blood alcohol content of at least 0.4 at the time of his death.

Shockingly, the staff at the club robbed the tourist of £420 ($770) after he collapsed in the establishment.

The Brit was in Poland as a tourist with his friend, who has not been named, and the pair were apparently lured into the club by an offer of free entry.

The nightclub is allegedly infamous for criminal activity, according to reviews online.

One user shared to TripAdvisor: “Stay away from this place. In short, pepper sprayed by security and badly beaten.

“The women tried to rob us for money …”

Polish media said that the tourist died in March, but recently police revealed they had charged 58 people with being part of an organised crime group.

The Polish Central Police Investigation Bureau (CBSP) said in a statement obtained by press agency Newsflash that they have filed over 700 criminal charges against the group.

They said the clubs ran a racket where they systematically got punters drunk before robbing them. Some were even persuaded to take out loans to cover ‘debts’ run up by the fraudsters.

The authorities said they have arrested the group who forced the tourist to drink himself to death.

In a series of raids on nightclubs, police seized suspects and confiscated electronic devices, computers, cash and phones.

Polish police said they are pursuing a lead about the British tourist, amid claims that he was forced to become intoxicated before losing consciousness and dying.

The investigators also said that police officers detained another seven people suspected of robberies and fraud on customers of go-go-clubs.

The statement revealed police are looking into other claims of organised crime groups stealing money from customers.

They said: “According to the findings of the investigators, the activities of the group were aimed at committing crimes to the detriment of club customers by leading them to a state of deprivation of awareness and perception.”

The police explained that the perpetrators took advantage of their victims drunken state and made payments for goods and services in the club.

Police continued: “In some cases, through electronic banking, on devices owned by customers, loans were also allowed to be taken or deposits or savings accounts were closed, and the funds accumulated there were transferred to the accounts of companies operating clubs.”

The prosecutor has also slapped other charges on top of the already hefty ones, including participation in an organised crime group and committing robberies and fraud.

The authorities added: “In the case, 31 arrests were also applied, property sureties in the amount of almost £305,000 ($560,000) and property with a total value of over £1.3 million ($2.4 million) was secured.”

The investigation into the crime groups responsible for the British tourist’s death is ongoing.

The Sun has approached the Foreign, Commonwealth and Developmental Office for comment on the matter.
