Ex-Employee: Sebastian M. Drove Aggressively and Fast

The testimony of Sebastian B., a former employee of Sebastian M.'s coffee roasting business, paints a disturbing picture of reckless behavior behind the wheel. Appearing before the District Court in Piotrków Trybunalski, B. detailed numerous instances of high-speed driving with his former employer, even after M. was involved in a fatal accident on the A1 highway that claimed the lives of a family of three. The court heard how M. allegedly drove his BMW, which B. described as modified for speed, at speeds exceeding 250 km/h on multiple occasions.

“

The boss told me about tuning the car, that the car has a more powerful engine. He could develop a higher speed thanks to it. The brake discs are large, drilled, so that air can pass freely, so that the brakes do not heat up.

B.'s most chilling recollection was a drive from Lithuania to Łódź where he claims they reached an astonishing 304 km/h. He described the trees blurring past and expressed his fear, even questioning M. about his awareness of B.'s two children. Despite these terrifying experiences, B. stated he trusted M. as a driver, though he characterized his driving as "confident, but fast and aggressive." This testimony comes as M. faces scrutiny following the fatal crash, where he reportedly told B. that his car's construction saved him, implying he was not the cause of the collision.

I drove with him once at a speed of 304 km/h. We were returning from Lithuania to Łódź then. It was on the route between Białystok and Warsaw, around noon, there wasn't much traffic. I remember how the trees were moving quickly. It was my speed record. I've never experienced anything like it. I even asked the boss if he knew I had two children.

Adding to the controversy, B. testified that M. traveled abroad for business shortly after the accident, visiting Dubai and Turkey, trips the former employee believed lacked any real business justification. B. also expressed surprise that M. was not prohibited from leaving the country following the incident, as M. maintained he was not at fault and had not been formally charged. This account, as reported by Rzeczpospolita, raises serious questions about accountability and the perceived impunity of the wealthy and powerful in Poland, highlighting a stark contrast between the devastating consequences of such actions and the seemingly unfettered freedom of the alleged perpetrator.

Sebastian M. drove confidently, but fast and aggressively.
