The sister of a Brit who tragically died after being forced to down 22 shots at a nightclub has revealed that police told her they wouldn’t be investigating the goings-on in the dodgy establishment.
Samantha Cocks’ brother Mark died while on holiday in Krakow, Poland, in 2017 after he was allegedly targeted by a gang who specialised in robbing tourists at Wild Night Club, in the centre of the city.
Polish prosecutors found that Mark, from Yorkshire, was left with a lethal amount of alcohol in his body after he was forced to drink 22 shots.

His heartbroken mum Pat previously toldTeessideLive: "Everybody loved Mark, he was really the life and soul.
"He was always happy and upbeat, and positive.
"He didn’t have a bad word about anyone, and nobody had a bad word about him."
Polish police have made seven arrests in connection with his death.
Samantha came out and said that despite the past and ongoing arrests, the family was told nobody has been held accountable for her brother's death.

She told The Sun: "The last we heard from the serious crime squad – who were investigating Mark's death and dealing with the inquest – was that they weren't looking into the crimes and goings on in those establishments.
"So why is this coming out now?"
The grief-stricken sister previously commented on the club's review page, saying: "My brother's death in this vile establishment needs to be made aware of!"

Another woman, who claimed to be Paul’s aunt, said on Facebook: "They fleeced him out of five transactions totalling £760, separated from his friend, then told his friend 'your mates dead'."
Authorities disputed the grieving woman’s claim, with the Polish Central Police Investigation Bureau said that they had so far filed over 700 criminal charges against the group.
Investigators claimed there was an organised web of clubs operating that would rob their patrons after getting them intoxicated.

They said the clubs would go ballistic after they got punters drunk, before claiming they needed to pay up.
Some drunk tourists were even persuaded to take out loans to cover "debts" run up by the fraudsters.
The authorities said they have arrested the group who forced the tourist to drink himself to death.
