Andrzej Kolikowski Biography

Andrzej Kolikowski is one of the most popular and richest Celebrity who was born on January 19, 1954 in Ożarów Mazowiecki, Poland. Andrzej Kolikowski nicknamed Pershing (1954–1999) was the leader of the so-called Pruszków mafia in Poland and arguably the best-known Polish gangster of the 1990s. He was assassinated by his enemies while on vacation in Zakopane.

Kolikowski left prison in 1998 and returned to his former activities. However, by that time the war over control of the Pruszków mafia was raging and his position was seriously endangered. In addition, one of the off-springs created after the arrest of the initial chiefs of the Pruszków group – dubbed the Wołomin mafia – gained much influence. While on vacation, Kolikowski was killed in a shooting in Zakopane on December 5, 1999. Ryszard Bogucki was convicted for the murder of Kolikowski and sentenced to 25 years’ imprisonment, with the possibility of parole after 20 years.

In 1994 he survived the first of assassination attempts: a bomb had been planted under his car. In August of that year he was arrested by the police, together with 19 members of the Pruszków group. Accused of extortion, handling, counterfeit and coercion, two years later he was sentenced to four years in prison. About that time his group divided and one of the off-springs gained notoriety under the command of Marek Czarnecki (Rympałek).
