No investigation is going to be launched against the reporter working for US-owned TVN who was about to be questioned by the Polish Homeland Security Office for propagating Fascist materials. The incident in question involved the journalist Piotr Wacowski who infiltrated a neo-Nazi group last year and filmed the group celebrating Adolf Hitler’s birthday in a Polish forest.
