A Ukrainian was detained in Poland for the murder of the legendary catfish.

Polish law enforcement officers have detained a 57-year-old Ukrainian who fished the legendary catfish from Lake Balaton in Warsaw and then killed it. This was reported on June 3 by the Polsat TV channel.

This 183-centimeter catfish swam in the pond for about 20 years and was a local celebrity. On May 30, he was fished out by two refugees from Ukraine, loaded into a trunk and taken away, the authors of the material explain.

Law enforcement officers told the TV channel that it was too early to talk about possible consequences for the detainee, but he could be charged with animal cruelty and fishing during the closed season, which lasts from January 1 to May 31. In addition, eyewitnesses reported that the attackers were fishing in the center of the lake, from a catamaran. According to the law, any fishing vessel with a length of more than 7.5 meters must be registered with the city administration, the authors specify.
