Krzysztof Rutkowski

Krzysztof Rutkowski (born 6 April 1960 in Teresin near Sochaczew, Poland) is a Polish former private detective (his licence has been suspended in 2006 and revoked in 2010),[1] criminal, ex-politician in European parliament (Partia Ludowo-Demokratyczna), occasional actor and Reality TV celebrity.

Rutkowski also took part in many TV footages and popularized shows like the Detektyw series of the TVN station, which depicts the life and methods of a private detective.

He was an observer from 2003 to 2004 and a Member of the European Parliament of the 5th term from May to July 2004, serving on the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Human Rights, Common Security, and Defense Policy.

In 2002 Rutkowski overpowered the suspected Polish criminal Dawid S. in a hotel in Ceský Tesín in northern Moravia and, using his diplomatic passport, brought him unmolested across the border into Poland.

Rutkowski was an “advisor” to an illegal fuel producer who is said to have defrauded the state of the equivalent of more than 100 million euros and had been in prison for three years and had testified about previous accomplices.

Rutkowski's men arrived at the scene in armoured-like vehicles and wearing bulletproof vests, intending to intimidate the striking drivers and potentially seize the trucks by force.
