On 2nd of august 2013, after the interrogation, Martha was allowed to go to Poland. Her passport was given back, and one of Garda officers says: “When you will be in Poland, send us a postcard from Poland”
Martha sends postcards while on stay in Poland:
“Good wishes”. Greeting card, into which the postcards were put.
„Hello from Poland”
“Hope you have not much work :)”
“Take care…”
“XXX From Marta Herda and Family”
1 grosz coin glued to one of the postcards (sample photo)
Those postcards was treated as taunting Garda. Altogether with 1 grosz it was treated as a bribe (1 grosz is a smallest Polish coin of lowest value). Special procedures were started, with special expert laboratory studies involving taking of fingerprints from the postcard and 1 grosz. The sender and a person from Garda, who received the consignment, were being determined.
