A 31-year-old Polish man, identified as Bartolomej Krakovjak, was arrested for vandalizing statues of the Virgin Mary and setting fire to an altar at the Catholic pilgrimage site of Medjugorje in Bosnia and Herzegovina. He is suspected of damaging religious objects, inciting national, racial, and religious hatred, and causing general danger. Krakovjak allegedly left inscriptions like 'Devil in a skirt' on the statues and a banner accusing Medjugorje visionaries of fraud. He faces six months to five years in prison and could remain in detention due to the risk of escape and repeating the criminal act.
