Brit dies after being given 22 shots in 90 minutes at Polish strip club

A 36-year-old man was found to have died of alcohol poisoning after being given 22 shots in 90 minutes while on a night out in a Polish strip club.

Police have since revealed their action against the club involved:

In spite of his efforts, investigators said Mark was given 22 shots in less than two hours.

Polish authorities have claimed Mark collapsed, at which point staff at the club robbed him of PLN 2,200 (£420) in cash.

Mark ultimately died as a result of alcohol poisoning, with Poland's National Prosecutor's Office saying he had a lethal blood-alcohol content of at least 0.4 percent at the time of his death.

Alcohol poisoning can occur with a blood alcohol level of 0.3 percent or higher.

Local police have now announced that they have charged 58 people with being part of an organized crime group as they conducted a raid on a number of night clubs, including Wild Night.

Footage showed the police storming the club, arresting suspects and taking computers, cash and phones. More than 700 criminal charges have been filed against the group, according to the Polish Central Police Investigation Bureau (CBSP), who also claimed the group worked to get customers drunk before robbing them.

"One of the leads investigated by the investigators in the case concerns the victim who was driven to a state of intoxication, causing loss of consciousness, and then death as a result of acute alcohol poisoning," a statement from CBSP explained.

"The man was not given medical assistance during the incident. Provisional arrests were made against those suspected of this act."

The CBSP went on to explain how the group took advantage of the 'mental and physical condition of the victims' and 'made payment transactions using payment cards or other financial instruments for goods and services allegedly offered in the club'.

"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 statement said.

Allegations against the group include allegations of participation in an organized crime group, committing robberies and fraud to the detriment of clients of clubs from Krakow and Warsaw.

The investigation into the alleged crimes is ongoing.
