Gen. Pytel detained at airport: court failed to lift travel ban despite case dismissal

Border Guard officers detained Gen. Piotr Pytel, former head of Military Counterintelligence Service, at Pyrzowice airport and prevented his departure for vacation. The general remains flagged in the system with a travel ban — yet the proceedings that led to the ban were formally dismissed two years ago, and Pytel now has victim status. The incident indicates a serious error in updating border system data.
