• Illustration — Krzysztof Rutkowski, 2012 In 2002 Rutkowski overpowered the suspected Polish criminal Dawid S. in a hotel in Ceský Tesín in northern Moravia and, using his diplomatic passport, brought him unmolested across the border into Poland. The methods used by Rutkowski met with harsh criticism in the Czech Republic. Starting in 2005, after his political career, Rutkowski became active as a so-called "private detective" and was not stopped by the fact that he had already come into conflict with the law on several occasions and was convicted, among other things, of unlawful detective work and kidnapping. Officers from the Polish State Security Agency (ABW) arrested Rutkowski in 2007 when he stopped his BMW at a gas station in Katowice. He was suspected of usurpation of office and aiding and abetting money laundering. Rutkowski was an “advisor” to an illegal fuel producer who is said to have defrauded the state of the equivalent of more than 100 million euros and had been in prison for three years and had testified about previous accomplices. In 2012, the Berlin Daily BZ reported an incident: men dressed in black with "Rutkowski Patrol" badges allegedly tried to drag a Polish-born woman with a German passport into a limousine against her will on a street in Berlin. The suspected kidnapper is said to have been private detective Rutkowski, apparently hired by the young woman's father, according to BZ. In an incident on 7 April 2023 (Good Friday) at the Gräfenhausen motorway rest area in Germany, the owner of Polish trucking company Agmaz & Luk Maz reportedly hired Rutkowski's organization to forcibly end a strike by truck drivers. Rutkowski's men arrived at the scene in armoured-like vehicles and wearing bulletproof vests, intending to intimidate the striking drivers and potentially seize the trucks by force. The police intervened and temporarily arrested 18 people, including Rutkowski's men. A spokesman for the German trade union confederation said it was a "shame" that Rutkowski's gang could come to Germany unhindered and threaten people.

In June 2011, Rutkowski led a group of civilians who freed a 9-year old Polish girl from the custody of Norwegian authorities, and repatriated her. Reactions included Khalid Skah's comment that "Now Norwegian authorities can taste their own medicine." Skah has had two of his children freed by a group of Norwegians including commando/Lieutenant Commander T.A.Bolle. In December 2011, a Polish court ruled that the child would not be sent back to Norway.

A Russian-born teenager arrived in Russia in November 2011, after Rutkowski removed him from the custody of Norwegian authorities and transferred him to Poland.
