At 6am local time on Wednesday morning, former KSW middleweight champion Michal Materla was arrested by Poland’s Central Investigative Bureau (CBS) for alleged participation in organized crime.
According to local reports, 10 armed police officers stormed the Polish MMA star’s home in Szczecin and arrested him in front of his wife and young children. While Materla was shocked at the sudden intrusion in his home, reports confirmed he did not resist arrest.
Materla was one of 21 arrests made across three Polish regions, all of whom are believed to be related to the same crime.
