On Tuesday, investigators reported the detention of five suspects, including a 55-year-old man known as "The Ghost of Żuromin."
Żuromin is a town about 120 kilometers northwest of Warsaw.
“No one involved in this cursed drug business in Poland will remain safe," Tusk said on Tuesday. "I guarantee it,” he added emphatically.
Police detained two men and two women in the Puławy and Hrubieszów districts of the eastern Lublin region, according to police spokeswoman Katarzyna Nowak.
During the raid, 330 pain relief patches containing fentanyl were seized, which could have produced about 7,000 doses of the drug, Nowak said.
“Fentanyl, ghost, Żuromin - these words are symbols of a 21st-century poison that along with other types of drugs is claiming lives around the world and now starting to kill people in Poland as well,” Tusk said in a social media post.
